I'm full of anecdotes like this. We led a very interesting life in Lagos, in the 1960s. Maybe one day I'll write a song about how my Mum danced with Charlton Heston... Or it is possible I have already written it and forgot I had? 🙃
Thanks Steve and totally true! I have lots of stories about my Mum - who died tragically young at 36. She was quite a woman with a singing voice that mine doesn't come near.
Gosh ... that's a story; great stuff, Berni! (Strangely enough, I was having a nostalgia fest yesterday evening, looking at videos of Christmases in the UK ... I think the earliest one I found was 1945. I hasten to add that I don't go back that far ... I DO remember Christmas 1966, though!) That's quite a shirt!
It's actually a pullover... and... of course... only comes out at Xmas! Isn't it strange to look back on events that are ancient history to my daughter's generation. These events took place 58 years ago! Gulp!
This is one of your best Berni! You had me cracking up! Sad about Bill's downfall! I grew up with his cartoons, movies and comedy routines. Happy Holidays to you and yours ~
what a story mate. wonderful songwriting this is Berni and so poignant and rich with meaning. hugs and love to you and Carmen, may 2025 be the best year yet for you both xo
I watched the beginning on mute (scanning) and then watched the rest (I'm embarrassed to admit) picturing Parky interviewing Bing Crosby. Made me chuckle even more at the end though!😂 Merry Christmas, Bernie!🎅
Well, now that is one hell of a tale mate, thanks for sharing that. Great delivery ,as ever. In fact when it comes to delivery , you may be giving Santa a run for his money ....and you do it more often !! Cheers.
Indeed. I am not a fan of the witch hunts of people for behaviour in the past which was generally acceptable, even if seen as reprehensible in today's "new puritan" era.

Yes, as he was a childhood hero, it was tough learning he had his dark aside too.

Great story Berni, though as you rightly say, no one’s perfect.
Indeed. I am not a fan of the witch hunts of people for behaviour in the past which was generally acceptable, even if seen as reprehensible in today's "new puritan" era.
@@berniarmstrongyou know what our wonderful holier than thou media is like Berni, very selective about who it goes into a feeding frenzy for.
