I was trying to chat her up, without much success... when I found out she was Billy Fury mad.. always used to look through the cinema guide in the Star, when I remembered Billy Fury was on at the Hippodrome , so I played my ace card and asked her if she would like to go, she said yes.. Thank you Billy Fury for all the many years of happiness you brought me.. Whenever I hear a Billy Fury record now, I shed a tear.. RIP Mrs Pads.  So Pads you went from 'Halfway to Paradise' to the full deal all through Billy. You should visit his statue on Liverpool docks. Great romantic story, just sorry for the way it ended for you. I'm sure she is keeping an eye on you though. RIP, lovely lady.

Funeral songs in my mind.  Little sister by Elvis means a lot to me because I was a Little sister and now the person that used to sing it to me is no longer here.

cressida   1,561 #18 Posted October 2, 2019 I remember having a record of 'Marie's the name of his latest flame' I think it was coupled with 'Little Sister.  Sorry you no longer have your sister, Jane  'Abide with me' was my mother' favourite, she probably thought of her mother.

Sometimes the B side was better eg ,Don't Be Cruel, Can't Help Falling In Love, Treat Me Nice, I Need Your Love Tonight, One Night, Little Sister,Trying To Get To You,I Was The One, all B sides in the UK ,as incredible as that may sound, and that's just the one's that came  to mind in the last few minutes.
