E tu, Frank? E tu?


Me? Quo Vadis, Yves?

I was born in 1959, January to be precise, and I was a pretty active baby and toddler, from then on. My mother (85 now) repeatedly told me that I had breast-feeding for a long, long time. Of course our Minnie will immediately step in with all kinds of unsavoury accusations - that is her particular problem, no need to emphasize that. Be sure that this communication of mine has been a lovely truth in our family for long decades by now.
On the whole, I'd rather be in Wallenpaupack.

That is what I have been debating with myself for years now. But I know now that he will never, ever stop, and that he has complete immunity to do what he likes.

In fairness, dropping an unsolicited ‘how long I bapsucked’ bomb in the middle of an unrelated thread rather suggests the problem may lie with someone a little closer to home!

Glad to know that a fair number of 50s artists are still with us. Amazing really - after all, it's 2021.

He did an album, Blues With Friends, just last year. Lots of big names blues. Not too bad if you like that sort of thing.

I quite like this one.



Good call!!

Oh please do not misunderstand, I love Dion; I was merely joshing with Tym because I had already mentioned him on the first of the thread.

No need for sorry, as I say I am joshing. And we both thought of Dion!
