The song this week is from my Doowop Days album and it is called "Love At First Sight".....until I commented on #BobbyVee's blog and received a notification from a DJ in the States who also knew Bobby.......his name is Joe Conroy and we have become good friends. .The news again has been blanket coverage of the latest London terror attacks....there's not a lot to add to it all...we are approaching a general election on Thursday.......the BBC being the worst....sensationalising very sad and delicate subjects...and none of it helps. I watched the Adriana Grande concert in #Manchester in aid of the victims of the recent bombing.... thought the guy from Coldplay stole the show and also Justin Beiber was good too........he needs duck tape over that cake hole instead of trying to score points with his views. When the concert was arranged it was announced that free tickets would be available to those who were originally at the concert...needless to say ...anyone profiteering from someone's misfortune .....but still no different to those politicians with their expenses...and the House of Lords forking out £300 a day for its members to pop in and have a sleep... On a lighter note..it was a page from a recent edition of The Record Collector and tells the story of my meeting with wrestler Adrian Street in the 70s...songs for Adrian and recorded them in my studio....with me playing all the instruments....we put records out under the name Adrian Street and The Boston Crabs........I produced two albums for him recorded both here and in the States....the album has been recently re-released so I might go into hiding....some things never go away.

Here's the demo of a song I wrote for Penny Page's husband David Alexander.....this is the actual demo I gave him........it was record of the week on Radio City and sold very well... We have had a bit of freak weather...30 degrees no less....which we are NOT ready for........and a spot where you can park the whole nation of sheep congregate resulting in everyone crammed on to 100 yards of shore.... Heathrow and Gatwick had computer problems......leaving thousands stranded and missing flights....and it has been mentioned that 30% of people travel without insurance so it's bye bye to their holiday and their cash.. I was pleased to see a foreign hotel suing a holiday maker for falsely claiming food poisoning which is the latest scam..........similar to "whiplash"...or "WhipCASH" as it is called..... t Aled Jones has a light hearted chat show on Saturday and Sunday mornings and he is a breath of fresh air....he has good guests and gives them plenty of room to chat....unlike ...it is awful......I think Graham has past his sell by date...as I have said many times TV in this country has hit an all time low or am I just getting old....with the likes of "Britains Got Talent"...Ant and Dec's "Takeaway"....The X Factor etc etc wowing our wonderful general public I give up....I think I'll go back on the road.....

...The song this week is called #Googie The Liverpool Duck" and has been very kind to me over the years....I wrote it for a friend of mine called #PennyPage who was a ventriloquist...the duck ...listening to on #bbcRadio 2 featuring #Jimmy McGovern.... I spent the weekend in #Wales and paid a very interesting visit to #Holyhead in #Anglesey...... Foxes are now infiltrating our towns and cities....but they are not the only things to do so....for also coming out of the countryside is a new threat....the rambler....this strange why "ramble" around a city?.... Wow !! someone has come up with the idea....and BANNING fast food in public places will solve the obesity problem.....I give up. ..finally....I've always thought celebs should stick to what they do....which brings me to #DavidBeckham who is now in a film...and the nobility as "geysers"....he seems to have no command of the English language but then again he is a hard case....or at least he is one in East Enders.

The song this week is dedicated to Bobby Vee who I had the pleasure of working with on two concerts...one in New Brighton and the other in The North Wales Theatre in Llandudno......a great bloke. What did I tell you a few weeks back?...because of a possible impending DRAUGHT we might be facing a hosepipe ban...I give up...apparently there hasn't been much rain in the south east over the winter so the river levels are down......the Victorians built canals everywhere....oh...I forgot they are too busy spending billions on rail links we don't need. .I watched a programme which featured a modern art exhibition....I have another word for "modern art" which is unprintable.....yet these "artists" make a fortune...Tracy Emin with her unmade bed on display etc...not to mention the psychologists who tell you where you are going wrong stating the obvious......very sad. I watched the Eurovision Song Contest with a few glasses of wine....I always find variety of music quite interesting and am totally bemused as to what some countries find musical....what do they GENERALLY listen to?. .I also watched the BAFTAS...as there was NOTHING worth watching on any other channel....Ant and Dec strike again...their "Saturday Night Takeaway" winning yet another award.......I'll have to start watching the soaps and try not to regard them as a scrapheap for out of work actors and popstars....and just enjoy them like so many other viewers.......thank goodness for Netflix.

The song this week is taken from my doowop album I put together a few years ago called Doowop Days and takes us back to the golden years of rock and roll...the track is called "Tribute To Ricky Nelson........James Burton...me it was like playing golf with #Tiger Woods or climbing #MtEverest with #Edmund Hilary..... I am punchdrunk with elections.....#UKIP saying they are pleased with the result...it gives them a chance to build etc...they were WIPED OUT totally..general elections they will sort out the obese problem by legislating the advertising of junk food... French elections....blanket news...including world changing facts like the new presidents missus being 25 years older than him... I used to enjoy "Have I Got News For You"....but lately it has become seriously infected with canned laughter... I watched...for the last time...Britains Got Talent which has reached a new all time low...some bloke who couldn't hoola hoop...topped off with a young lad singing a song he had written for his granny who has Alzheimers.... Now I have heard it all....an award ceremony which is "gender neutral"....so it's one award for the best actor....man or woman

.The song I have sent you this week is called "Seen and Done It All" and it was commissioned by a publisher I was signed to in the 70's called #Evolution Records....I wrote it specially for #DianaDors who actually recorded it......they also had #Mud and #GeorgieFame on their books and The #BonzoDog Doo Dah Band who I also wrote a song for which they recorded called "Strangle My Boss"... Still on the music scene they are all coming out of the woodwork....re-unions everywhere...#Steps...#Bananarama.......the word "band" grates on me a bit when they call them girl "bands" and boy "bands".... There is a new game show called "Big Heads" hosted by Jason Manford ...it involves contestants wearing big rubber spitting image heads of celebrities and they have to compete against each other running over obstacles and falling over etc.. connected with the character it would make more sense....a bit bland. I watched #BritainsGotTalent and tried to cancel the judges out of my mind...there was a really good comedian on....he was a black guy and he discussed how he found it funny how this country thinks it is in crisis...as he comes from Africa where there is a real crisis...he was really observant and hit the nail right on the head....what he was actually saying was we don't realise how lucky we are and he is right...... The latest earth shattering news item is concerns "doggy bags" in restaurants.... your dog.....

.The song this week I wrote and produced for wrestler #AdrianStreet...it is called "Breakin' Bones" and back in the day he used to enter the ring to it blasting out.... I had to laugh at the video someone put on the internet concerning the treatment of a lady with a pram...some little "tough guy" security man started kicking off and nearly injured the baby...suddenly a passenger told him ...he ended up with a broken nose and dislocated jaw and a few cracked ribs....oops. #IllieNastase has been in the news upsetting the lady tennis players during a tournament.....apparently he swore at the referee and upset our Joanna Konta reducing her to tears......and still on sport they had a chap on the news who has run 100 marathons in 100 days....raising money for charity....superhuman or what!!! In other news....speeding fines are going up...if you do over a hundred on the motorway or over 50 in a 30 limit you will be fines one and a half times your weekly salary..... There was a recent discussion on the radio concerning theatre prices and how you can pay a grand for a VIP ticket......yet ANOTHER rip off...and also how the agencies snap the tickets up as soon as they are on sale so they can add their ill gotten gains

"I made It to the top" .. refers to the top of Mount #Snowdon.... album I produced for my pal #PaulDamian who pronounces the Welsh names accurately.. There was a 10 minute article on the news regarding "mumbling" in TV dramas....which I've been going on about for years...we discussed the #BBC big shot the other week coming out with gems like "It creates the atmosphere when actors lower their voices"...do these "stars" learn to act? There was an interesting article on the news about a couple of scientists who have discovered material which changes sea water into fresh water when poured through it..... On the entertainment front I watched #BritainsGotTalent .......I haven't watched it for years and thought it MUST have improved....WRONG.. I have been watching "Line of Duty" which is excellent.....the script is so cleverly written....also #Broadchurch" is another good drama which keeps you in suspense...thank goodness for #Netflix.

..The song this week is called "How Lucky Am I"......extolling the virtues of this wonderful Peninsula....the DVD displays what I am singing about. There's a guy who took his kiddie out of school during term time to save ...if everybody decided to do the same it would totally disrupt the education system... It's the same with parking...there is a big issue at the moment about parking fines....I don't get them because I DON'T PARK ILLEGALLY... The record of the week on Radio 2 is a track off #Chuck Berry's final album and it is brilliant...a price can't be put on what we owe this guy...to me he is the absolute undisputed King of Rock and Roll.. Still on the music scene watched the Take That concert last Saturday night and thought it was brilliant.....#GaryBarlowe is a bit of a genius...#BradleyWalsh was pushing his album on the "Nightly Show"... Just got back from four days in #Caernarfon and the weather was wonderful... a place called Llyn Ogwen where you walk up to a mountain lake.....I'm off for a Welsh !!".......I do love Wales.

..The song this week is taken from one of my videos which I made a while ago showing the changes which have taken place in our area over the last 20 years.... have the seagulls over our beloved Hilbre Island. There is a programme on TV called "Little Big Shots" featuring very talented young kids ranging from 5 to 12...it is hosted by #DawnFrench and is brilliant. A problem with TV these days is all we seem to get is the same faces all the time...Tuesday night has #BradleyWalsh on with #TheChase I do wonder why the #BBC...who we PAY for via our licence fee...not only has the worst news programmes it also has the worst "catch up" system... April 1st had the usual April Fool gags in the media...like Prince Harry's secret wedding .....#TheWirralGlobe...
