As I have a house full of decorating to do this will be my last YouTube for a while, so I thought I'd make it interesting. This was one of my favourite #'s over 40 years ago. ????? Does anyone know it? It is actually the B side of a top 10 hit. I know John Roache will know it so John-----SHSHSHSH! I don't know why but I seem to lose a lot of sound quality on YouTube but here it is any way. Cheers Dave (Shakey)

Dave, that was a different one. Were you using a delay pedal or was there just some echo added? It shows your versatility. I think your sound is like before..super.
If your youtube sound is lacking, I would sure like to hear you live!
I'm not sure if I ever heard that tune before...it wouldn't be "The Millionaire" would it? Rolling Eyes Question

I ask you to take a break from renovations when I find that request and send to you.

Helo Bent, it is "The Millionaire" but not the theme from the 80's TV series. to find this you will have to dig deep into the internet (unless your John Roache,) hello John are you there??? Bent I shall leave it for a few hours,I'm sure someone will SUS it, if not I'll let John tell you. Hope you liked it. Cheers for now.
Shakey.

Dave & Bent, the only song I hear listening to Dave is a Cliff Richard song called Theam for a dream.

John,
I wouldn't have known in a million years. After I moved to Canada, my Cliff Richard listening was all done. I think the last one I heard by him was Summer Holiday. Or was it Traveling Light?

OK gentlemen, there are no words to this number it is purely instrumental, now having left London (and Cliff) head North up th M1 cross over to the M6 toward the Mersey. Bent you'll have to get your atlas out although I'm sure you've heard of the "Merseysound."
Cheers for now.
Dave.

Yes Bent that's the one but not Gerry. This was the B side of a number called "The Cruel Sea," both numbers were composed by Mike Maxfield , lead guitarist of "The Dakotas," Billy J. Cramer's backing band. I believe both numbers were composed in 1963. Now it's time to strip the wallpaper, catch you all soon, best wishes.

Billy J. Cramer. I had totally forgot that name. I remember now, listening to him and the Dakotas on Radio Luxembourg.
As to the song title...After some research, my only guess will be "Oyeh" as the flip side to The Cruel Sea.

If that's not correct I give up and you'll have to tell us. At least you will have to say I gave it my best shot Smile

I hope you rented a steamer for the wallpaper. One of my most un-favorite things to do is stripping wallpaper. Maybe now you'll smarten up and use paint Smile

Ok..looks like I misunderstood what song Dave was keeping secret. Guess I'm dense.
