OK, it's a bit quiet in here and the weather's ****e again, so here's a
little *link rich* Indoor Fun Pack with a couple of 'wobbycam' gems from
the past for your delight and delectation and to pass the time:

These snippets....

http://www.apah69.dsl.pipex.com/show/Ricochet.wmv

http://www.apah69.dsl.pipex.com/show/MerryGoRounds.wmv

are Joan Regan and (where applicable) the 'Squadronaires' - see:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joan_Regan

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Squadronaires

(Some might say Doris Day done *right* but I wouldn't care to comment.
Also, tonearm buffs please note that the minimalist 'straight stick' arm
on these old Lencos will let even a knackered old G800 ride just about
*any* groove with little or no antiskate!)

Now, that's the fun part - down to business: Let's have a check on the
'fidelity' - anyone care to stab a guess as to who's singing this:

No idea, I only ever saw that once in 'White Christmas' when I wuz a
little kid and my dad took me to the cinema in (Old) Welwyn - I remember
I greatly preferred 'Davy Crockett, KOTWF' and 'Cockleshell Heroes' at
the time...!!

Never made it more than ten minutes into White Christmas. Too much
saccharin right from the start.

I preferred Holiday Inn anyway. By the way, it shows that at every era
there is a "style" of performance that dates the music. It sounded very much
like BC, but not quite, the style was the same, and I couldn't think of who
also sounded like him, as they pretty much all did. OK, Frank Sinatra was
different. Listen to the two of them in High Society.

You can date 50s, 60s and 70s pop almost to the year without knowing
anything about the sond or artist, just from the sound.
Yeh-Yeh, Woa, Woa, bum-shi-bum

There was a British crooner, Michael Holiday who sounded very much like
Bing. So much so that most people could not tell them apart.

He had a number of hits, the most famous being "Starry Eyed" and
"The Story of My Life" Sadly, he committed suicide in 1963

"White Christmas" used to be (and perhaps still is) the best-
selling single of all time. Thousands and thousands of copies
each year.

Decca of course:-)))

Here's a bit more (10 Meg) from the flip side that might help (shocking
edit due to haste):

("I'm a cobbler" ?? :-)

Pity so much 'tone' is lost by the little digital camera I'm using
because the voice is very lifelike 'in the flesh' as it were!

No complaints, or it'll be Harry Secombe, Max Bygraves or - wait for
it - Flanagan and Allan!!
