I have experienced any days out bar the visit to Glamis Castle because that the the 'house' which was part of which was my schools competition.<br /><br />I experienced London in 1955 with my father because my brother lived and worked there at the time. We never made it to a musical but he did take me to Madam Tussauds and the then astrology event next door.<br /><br />Madam Tussauds, with the figure of Christie left me frightened enough never to revisit.subrosahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00151702590329788260noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8116690042850060767.post-74373917053635704592011-08-21T20:29:53.478+01:002011-08-21T20:29:53.478+01:00Joe, what can I say.

And was completely bowled over by it.<br />It was a school trip in the early fifties. It included visits to the Houses of Parliament and other important establishments. But those didn't make the same impact on me as Lyons Corner Houses, the first time I encountered a buffet, where you could see in advance what you were getting and judge if you could afford it. I remember my glee on the last day when I had enough pocket money left for a Knickerbocker Glory: two and sixpence.<br />I rather think a kindly former pupil donated the evening at the theatre. And I rather think Muriel Smith was singing in person that night. <br />What I do know is that I was captivated by the whole performance. Not just the music and singing, but the whole impact of the performance. Live on stage in front of my eyes.<br />After the days of Gilbert and Sullivan, nobody does musicals better than the Yanks. The first musical that made an impact on me was Oklahama, then South Pacific, then Guys and Dolls, and Call me Madam. Later West Side Story.<br />The tunes are superb. But so are the words.<br />Worth listening to, and good performers deliver them well.Hamishhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07401451754373118599noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8116690042850060767.post-68120947999306584462011-08-21T10:41:41.349+01:002011-08-21T10:41:41.349+01:00"............I find when listening to much of..."............I find when listening to much of today's popular music, I can't understand a word."<br /><br />Perhaps Rosie, you should try this site:-<br /><br />http://www.bizbag.com/Misc%20articles/Rap%20Lyrics%20Translated.htmJoe Publichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07829909061904690380noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8116690042850060767.post-12476144186764118872011-08-21T10:19:20.890+01:002011-08-21T10:19:20.890+01:00Lovely film SR, saw that with my first girlfriend....Lovely film SR, saw that with my first girlfriend........
