I suppose he\'s staying too? One choir got a bit like the Mafia - or some of them did. \'Do what we say, sing what we want, or else....\' The whole thing has gone now. Some bloke with a guitar replaced him, I heard. There he was every week, like clockwork, like it or not...! (Cries of \'Arrgghhh, not again\'!).Now he\'s gone too.

Thanks for showcasing LES DAWSON ~ along with KEN DODD ~ TOMMY COOPER ~ MORCOMBE (and WISE) ~ VICTORIA WOOD ~ JULIE WALTERS the last of the GREAT BRITISH Comedians (and those who graced the Music Halls before them) honed in the Agony & Ecstasy of the 20th Century. A Dead & Dying breed we shall never see their likes again. I have been in several Choirs as a BARITONE / BASS in my time. Praise GOD there were always those PRAYED but also alas a few who PREYED ~ c\'est toujours la vie ! Loved the pome ! Today ANGELA has shared HOW GREAT THOU ART ~ in MAORI ~ beautiful please check ! Have a Blessed Sunday ~ Yours BRIAN

Another of your great observational pieces. It amuses me how couples are lost in their phones these days. I see it everywhere. Seems that i am the only one takes a book/newspaper/magazine into a waiting room/cafe if i am on my own.
However, i have to admit, at home my laptop is seldom shut down. Perhaps if my ageing eyesight were better i too would spend more time lost on my tiny phone.
I am a lover of conversation so even ignore all but the most important phone calls when in company.

Thanks ANDY the early part of the 20th C was a great era for the development of JAZZ. Love GENE KRUPER ~ He made the skins talk ! Yes it is a shame we have all become ROBOTS communicating electronically and not verbally. The sense of SPEECH & LANGUAGE is one of God\'s greatest gifts to Man and another proof that we are CREATED in God\'s likeness \"Just a fraction lover than the ANGELS\" and NOT MECHANISTICALLY EVOLVED \"Just a fraction higher than the APES\" I thank GOD every day that I am an ANGEL & not an APE ! I have stated elsewhere that I never have had (and never will have) a MOBILE and carrying a LAPTOP or TABLET is like carrying an OXYGEN CYLINDER ~ Thanks for caring & sharing ~ Please check my TIME POEM ~ Thanks ~ Yours BRIAN

Pertinent poem reflecting the reality of our age. I like the intimate, conversational style. You\'ve highlighted the abuse of technology by some people, who overuse and overrely on it, at a cost. Without modern technology, we (my wife and I) would never have got in touch after so many years, but it is a double-edged sword and you have graphically demonstrated this. Thank you and well done, sir!

Andy,

After reading your fine poem, I’ve come to the conclusion that you have not embraced the Dorian Gray syndrome and I’m confident you never will!

I enjoyed listening to that “modern day yuppy blues”!

Was he that awful, the old man? Comfortably accepting the advancing years is wise, what point would there be in fighting?
