It's probably a bit late to scare my own kids with it though (youngest is 11).Jonathanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10412300721454784537noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5748646417094752248.post-82073856147968261622010-03-19T07:18:07.733+00:002010-03-19T07:18:07.733+00:00's funny, I can remember the main theme tune f...'s funny, I can remember the main theme tune from Tubby but none of the words, nor even the theme of the story.Mark In Mayennehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14987723233401368368noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5748646417094752248.post-84110314184775729012010-03-18T23:33:15.505+00:002010-03-18T23:33:15.505+00:00I hear Popeye round my way too.

I won't try to follow the lyrics of Let's Twist Again with those of Old Man River (any exuberance it may have possessed went right over my head), still less the tale of Tubby the Tuba.Jonathanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10412300721454784537noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5748646417094752248.post-64870146247148100912010-03-18T11:57:55.008+00:002010-03-18T11:57:55.008+00:00"Come on, everybody,

Our wireless set had a "gram" input and you could connect up the player, trying not to get too much hum. I remember "jealousy" (tangouzine) and "The entry of the Boyards".<br /><br />I also experimented with a pin and a matchbox, making the thing into a soudnig box, playing Mark In Mayennehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14987723233401368368noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5748646417094752248.post-41656209302228924642010-03-18T11:50:37.666+00:002010-03-18T11:50:37.666+00:00Actually, my introduction to "Pictures" ...Actually, my introduction to "Pictures" was also from ELP, which identifies a debt of gratitude that I owe the group. It was through that that I became interested in orchestral music generally, my "classical" education up to that point being limited to what I could play on the piano. Rather later, I discovered that the work was actually composed for piano, and I learned to Mark In Mayennehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14987723233401368368noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5748646417094752248.post-62110611073746948062010-03-17T21:18:39.449+00:002010-03-17T21:18:39.449+00:00I wonder if (like me) you sing along to ice cream ...I wonder if (like me) you sing along to ice cream vans? We had two going the other day,one was "I'm popeye the sailor man..." with a curious B section. I kept making up new lyrics each time and battling with the B section.
