Nice reply Garry

Don't get me wrong, people. Whilst I totally agree with Garry, George and others in that there are a LOT of very good songs written before the sixties but don't let us lose sight of the brilliant songs of today. Of course there is a load of cr** out at the moment, but there was an awful lot written much earlier on than today.

I have written lyrics to songs but I never could manage more than a couple of bars of a tune. I bow very low (well as low as my bad knee will allow) to those talented enough to write a good tune. I will listen to anything, and decide whether I like it or not onit's own merits. However, just because I don't like it doesn't make it rubbish, well that's the theory anyway. More power to the composers (lyrical and musical) I say.

best wishes
