Benny hill wishing well

The late Benny Hill was one of the funniest comedian England ever produced. I heard the musical theme for his TV series last night but I couldnt place the catchy familiar tune until this morning. I remember this tune always accompanied a chase scene. I searched YouTube and watched all the clips posted. They were still very entertaining and brought back lots of memories of when the world was a much happier place than now.

Country Strong

When I first heard "Country Strong" over the Radio I thought to myself...."Never heard this new song by Taylor Swift !" At home I searched YouTube and ....goodness gracious great balls of fire....the singer was Gwyneth Paltrow ! Is there anything this beautiful lady cannot do ? And according to the write ups covering the CMA awards her performance was critically acclaimed.  Judge for yourself. Here she is at the CMA Awards :-




Hmmmmm  will she leave Tony Stark (Iron Man) now to pursue a singing career ? Step aside Carrie Underwood... here comes Gwyneth !

The Very First Rock and Roll Song

Elvis was "The King". Little Richard was undoubtedly one of the Pioneers and so was Chuck Berry. Bill Haley and his Comets were credited with starting the Dance Craze.  Alan Freed's promotion of the music spread it all over the U.S. of A., across the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans to the rest of the world. BUT which song was the very first in this genre of music ? Who was the first artist to record a Rock and Roll song ?

It has been said that JIMMY PRESTON was the first Rock and Roll artist and I have yet to come across someone with an opposing view !

The Elements Song - Tom Lehrer

I promised more early (This does not mean  "earlier than early"  but more rock and roll music from  earlier period....but you know that already ...no ? OK , rambling !) rock and roll music in my previous post. This is not Rock and Roll but it's such a fascinating song I had to share it. I have the feeling that all the nerdy people out there would know this song by heart.



I actually came across this again in an episode of NCIS in which ABBY helped solve a murder case by finding the clues from this song left by the victim in his Notebook Computer.
