Thank you @Rogue1001MNer!

I saw him nearly 20 years ago, my DH was a big fan of his early stuff. Not sure what he'd be like live now, heard he's touring.

Honey, your aura is beautiful
Gosh you caught me unawares with au usual compliment! Have you been at the cooking Sherry Rougey?

I don’t think Ben was that entertaining really (although I am a bit deaf temporarily, so might have missed anything he said!!). Just wobbled around.

AllTheYoungGoodyTwoShoes · 31/01/2022 13:59

Asked where I could get something to eat and she showed me where

If I couldn't I wouldn't
But what can I do, I'm lonely too

You always smile but in your eyes your sorrow shows
70s

Why Don't You Say Goodbye
Well There's A Light
And There's A Hope
Come Swing Me Baby

I Sold You A Lie
And Prayed That Maybe
Someday You'd Return It
