It's pretty cool to see all of our musical tastes. Lot's of stuff I've never heard of, as I'm sure most of you would say about mine!

Yes.

Very surprised you did not go with Julie London with Blue Moon, although I can see why you have chosen Cry Me a River she does put some passion in to it.

Had to have Cry Me a River for Julie, so chose Peggy Lee’s version of Blue Moon.

There's two things that have surprised me about this thread,first is that the posters are probably older than I have given them credit for and secondly....that Rising is a woman

 

[Rising]

I prefer the term ‘discerning’ rather than ‘older’.

 

[Chippy_Tea]

secondly....that Rising is a woman

I thought the avatar gave that away when i first joined.

 

[Chippy_Tea]

Here are just a few of my many favourites of the eighties.

That avatar should have really been a clue, mate. And we've had to endure it for quite a while.

 

[cocopops]

I only use a mobile as I haven't got a laptop or tablet so I can't really see what is in the avatar,is she in it or summat?

 

[Chippy_Tea]

Can you see this -

 

[cocopops]

No,it's exactly the same size as an avatar,I can make out three blurry people,one in a City shirt?

 

[Chippy_Tea]

I thought you meant you couldn't see the avatar properly so i pasted it into the post this is the full size picture, you really don't need to see a bigger version the reason i posted my comment below should be blatantly obvious.

I understand that Cocopops, you not being a City fan, however any city fan would recognise Merlin blurry or not. Lol

 

[Rising]

I would like to draw your attention to the fact that Bluedub used that Avatar before me. He changed to his KDB one and gave me his kind permission to use it. Good bloke, BD.

 

[BamaEngineer]

She should change it to this IMO....
