BILL HALEY
I always wanted to rock around the clock when I heard this, oh so long ago

Songs and Sounds on Saturday

Close your eyes and dim the lights!

Whenever I hear this I am transported back to those hectic nights at the dance hall 

when I danced myself silly to the songs of Billy Ocean. 

Couldn't do it now but I can still enjoy the music.

A tribute to

Val Doonican, a popular Irish singer who died this week, aged 88.

Val was well known for his fancy jumpers and his rocking chair as well as his singing.

I hunted for a visual of Val Doonican singing but couldn't find one.

Instead I found this short film which is quite pleasant. The object, though, is to listen to the voice while being entertained by wildlife. 

Val was a great singer of serious and light-hearted songs.
