Happy 74th Birthday to Alice Cooper otherwise known as Vincent Damon Furnier. Born as Vincent (his uncles namesake) on February 4th 1948. Known for songs such as Welcome To My Nightmare (I’m) Eighteen Elected and Poison released July 17th 1989 when I was heavily pregnant with my first child.. 🥰

Again I was quite young when his band was founded but I remember the song Schools Out. I also remember vaguely his theatre make up with his black eyes. I also had a certain poster of Alice on the wall.

I can’t remember what he was wearing or the colours. I remember I used to kiss all the posters goodnight.. As you can imagine as I was that young the centre of the poster where his face should’ve been was torn and soggy! But in the summer of 1972 when Schools Out was released in the UK I was only three! ❤️

Björk – it’s oh so quiet

Hello lovelies this song covered by Björk brings back some precious memories of my youngest daughter. My mum could and would spend my childhood singing. She would tell us every time a Connie Francis song come on the radio that it was her. As Connie’s her chosen name it so happened my mum sounded just like her. As young children, it didn’t take much convincing as I knew my mum’s name was Connie and that was it…

Anyhoo It’s So Quiet was released in November 1995 two months after my youngest daughter 3rd birthday. This was her first attempt at singing. Being the youngest of 3 girls she was laid back and followed what her sisters were doing.

But occasionally she would surprise you with a little dance or song or an amazing story she was very creative. It started as a typical toddler does with the sshh and her tiny finger squashing her little plump lips.. Her eyes huge and round like saucers her fine blonde hair hung in a curtain of baby ringlets below her ears.

She went on to sing at a local youth club with one of my eldest friends who could also sing. Anyway my youngest went on to sing at the local festival.

Her song of choice gives you an idea of how great her singing voice is the song was Respect by the great Queen of Soul Aretha Franklin. In the mean time enjoy ❤️👑😎🍀

Hi there lovelies I don’t have a television set up to watch terrestrial or Freeview HD TV. Anything I want to view my go-to place is always YouTube. I remember this song it was one of my earliest introduction to Rock and Glam Rock music.

Sweet was one of my favourite bands but when I heard that siren with the guitar and drums at the age of 4 I loved the sounds, it grabbed my attention. Other music I liked was Queen with bohemian rhapsody and David Bowie as Ziggy Stardust..♥️

I have an eclectic taste in music and I live and breathe music for as far back as I can remember. I usually have a radio on as I’m a prolific reader. But I like a music video or watching comediennes and comedians.. and  comedy sketches..
