There are some songs here that are not familiar to me, but most of them are old favourites…
We were in Sydney yesterday, grandson Max was sweetly doing his homework. He asked me: Oma, how do you spell ” favourite”…pleased I got that one right 🙂

Ah…! Telstar! The first use in a pop song of the period featuring the Moog Simplifier as a solo implement! I remember once aged about six or seven, being asked, in my turn, to sing a song in front of the rest of the class… I knew heaps of songs, but at that time of my life couldn’t sing two notes together in the same key! And, put on the spot like that, I couldn’t think of anything; the first thing that came to mind was the then number one hit; yep! You guessed it… TELSTAR!
Now, what the class made of my tuneless “Naaaah, Na Naaaaaaaaa, Na NaaaaNaaaaNaaaaNaaa naaaaa na NAAAAAAAAAAA! Naa na na naaa naaa Naaa naa-naa naaa naaah Naaaaa Na Naaa naaa naanaa naaaa na na…. etc…” I shall never know, but I could see from the peculiar expression on my then teacher’s face, that Mr Holborn was totally bewildered and didn’t know quite what to say, though it drew some small applause, evidently from the more ‘avant-guarde’ class-members

What an engaging little boy. How cute (No, I’m not his mother.)
I thought avant garde. I thought innovative and you might not have even known before this that you are a Moog Synthesiser. Mr Holborn, take no notice of him (possibly advice come more than a few minutes too late). It’s beneath you. He is a little man and easily alarmed like a skittish horse by unaccustomed sound. The man is tone deaf, his credentials said he needed to teach an advanced class where he didn’t have to teach pitch. (He thought that was baseball).
I’m so learning that.
“Naaaah, Na Naaaaaaaaa, Na NaaaaNaaaaNaaaaNaaa naaaaa na NAAAAAAAAAAA! Naa na na naaa naaa Naaa naa-naa naaa naaah Naaaaa Na Naaa naaa naanaa naaaa na na…. etc…”

It’s no fun if you have to explain ’em, Algae; I guess the reference was too obscure; you wouldn’t recognize it unless you’d read a story by John Lennon called ‘No Flies on Frank’; the reference to ‘Ella Fitzgerald’ is one of Lennon’s gags; a joking reference to Conan Doyle’s ‘Watson’…
(Sighs heavily…) As for Frank… well, he has absolutely nothing to do with it!
