Thanks Algy.

It was No. 1 in 1975 in England on my first trip to Europe. It had to be included and the one with the most sentimental value.

Yo, can’t stop. Listen later… Wrapping presents. Spent too much at the Robina Town Centre. Bought iPhone/iPod dock thinggee with charger, radio and alarm clock, for H.I. She can plug her iPhone in by the bed and set the alarm too
She doesn’t know, however, ‘you’do. Don’t want her to be late for work 😉

Marvin Gaye, Herb Alpert and of course Elvis for me…

I like most of them. Could resist putting the Herb alppert tune iup. Elvis did some good stuff to a point. and of course I’m a big Marvin Gaye fan. Cats in the cradle is one of my all time favourites.

Glad you liked it. Put Fernando there just for you Vivienne. Number one for 3 months so it deserved its place on that alone.
