Just tested out the site for when my daughter was born and its correct.!! The day she was born we bought the record and also all the newspapers for that day, mad i know but thats the sort of silly things you do when you have your first child. Still got everything in mint order and now she's 24 she appreciates what we did so it was worth all the trouble in the end. How dare you Lindy!! GUY MITCHELL was my all time favourite!!! Singing the Blues was one of his, plus many more maureen |

"Lay Down Your Arms", by Anne Shelton. Never heard of it!! Mind you, I guess my mind was on other things at the time. Heard of Anne Shelton, though. Glenys. Paul - the bloke that sang "Good Morning Starshine" was "Oliver". My Mum bought the record and still has it! |
