Keep your favourite playlist handy Herb!

Edit: A bit tear jerking in parts. "It's a long way to Tipperary!"

... the fearless hunters traveled far and wide, and finally caught and caged a Rarie Bird..... as they were making their way back over the high mountains along a steep path alongside a deep chasm.. one of the porters slipped.... and the Rarie Bird fell over the cliff... all the way down he could be heard singing......... "It's A Long Way To Tip A Rarie"

I just KNEW there had to be a reason the theme from Forrest.. Forrest Gump was running through my head.....

Apparently... But if you listen closely it was "a long way to tickle Kerry". I'm sure when my time comes it may be ACDC "It's a long way to the shop if you want a sausage roll."

edit: I have a new appreciation of the Tipperary tune, the "tickle Kerry" shows we have not changed a lot as people, take the piss and have fun with words, but I'd rather tickle Kerry than go for a sausage roll, even with marty sauce..

When I get my walker, I am going to have it pimped.

I have been playing music since I was a kid, so I found that show very moving. I play three instruments, and curiously, I am not overly drawn to the popular music of my lifetime. Most of what I listen to was recorded before I was born. I even have an album of piano rolls made by Jelly Roll Morton.
So my collection of favourites is not going to be what my peers listen to.
