Robin Gibb

New York Mining Diaster was one of the first records that I bought with my first wages from when I worked at the telephone exchange.All their music has been fabulous,Robin will be sadly missed.

Every little breeze seems to whisper Louise...[Chevalier]

Yes in Gigi!

Wasn't that Maurice Chevalier?

Ah yes! I remember it well!

Frankie Vaughan!!

And me! They were banned at my school, along with anything else that was fun! Prayer and work and study only. Looking back I'm not surprised I rebelled.
They even banned 'green door' and 'when you walk in the garden' can't remember who sang them!

Oh, those petticoats! I also had one with plastic hoops drawn through channels between the tiers. I was doing a vigorous Scottish country dance when I felt something winding round my legs - hoop had come adrift. Better than being beset by wasps!

And there was I thinking I was the Bee's Knees.

And...apart from wasps being drawn to the sugared petticoats, they took a great liking to my bee-hive hair-do [liberally sprayed with some tacky stuff to keep it standing twelve inches high!]

when...and it was impossible to sit on the bus - forced to stand for the entire journey, skirt taking up acres of space.

Are these honey or bumble bee gees?
And why have we two threads on bees? Even more

My younger brother was only about 5 or 6 when Massachusetts was released. He spent ages singing about 'Massive chewzits' Goodness knows what he thought he was singing about, but we still sing that when we hear the song!

The BeeGees did come later but you reminded me of my sugar-starched underskirts soop. They would attract wasps! They were so uncomfortable and would ruin my stockings because the stiff net kept catching on them.

You are funny, soop!

I do believe that the BeeGees came later...was it when I wore the sack? A most unbecoming garment that was too tight on the knee. I had to hobble in that particular creation. All so long ago - but those times still make me

Anagram Why? Was that a different era? Ah well...they were still good memories

Oh, soop ...I remember the plastic popped-beads ...had a bright yellow set!!

Found myself singing along to their music on the radio this morning

Were you living in a time-warp, soop?

The BeeGees' music can still take me back to the days of bee-hive hair-dos, waspy-waisted skirts worn with crinoline petticoats [starched with sugar water], Bardot-tops and ropes of brightly coloured, plastic poppet-beads. Happy memories.

Yes, I'm sorry too. What a shame three of the brothers have now died - only Barry left.
They were such prolific songwriters, as well as musicians.
