Good morning Mr Zen.
Lovely music from West Side Story, I’m not a big musical fan as such, but I like the music from many. I can remember going to see this, exactly when escapes me just now.
Exhilarating! Yes I still get that same buzz of excitement from when I first heard that Prologue music. West Side Story was one of the first LP’s my younger brother bought and the Jet Song is still a favourite of mine “from your first cigarette till your last dying day!”
Zen, indeed – I saw it at the new 20th Century cinema – stereophonic sound! – in Nairobi. The snapping of fingers in the corridors drove the masters at Delamere High nuts for a good few weeks
🙂
That’s where I saw it, a great innovation compared with the archaic Theatre Royal. I was at PoW, by the way.
Oh, well, we all have our crosses to bear – you didn’t play rugby or cricket, did you? We might have met 🙂
Cricket was my passion, I was Junior Colts 58/9, Senior Colts 60 – Capt, 2nd XI 61, also a member of Nairobi Wanderers 61.
Ah, a couple of years ahead of me, then, I was under 13s in 60, didn’t make the under 15s at cricket in 61.
I breathed, ate and drank it. It was a shame my ability didn’t quite measure up!
It’s lovely to hear you two talking like this, I’m getting some lovely mental pictures. In my early teens I remember going to Edgbaston to watch the cricket, but the best place of all, for me anyway, was watching it on a village green, played by the locals, in their whites, the gentle clapping from the pavilion and us on the sidelines. Such a beautiful warm English sight.
Val – You go to the Waddington airshow AND Edgbaston? Quality bird, if I may be so bold!
🙂
OZ
Be as bold as you like OZ. Yep, this girl gets about doesn’t she.
Val, tell me you play golf too, and I’ll vie for your attentins with OZ 🙂
Yoo hoo, Bravo, and may the best wolf win!
😀
Yes I do play golf Bravo, badly; the dust gathering on my clubs is quite dreadful. My group of pals all play seriously, I drive the buggy.
