Which reminds me......

I used to have a Polish friend who was a sound engineer for our band. And a Czech one too.

The lad (Peter Auty) who sang Walking in the Air (which is actually flying but that's another discussion) in the short cartoon film wasn't the same lad who sang when the song was released as a single after the movie was released. Aled Jones got to number 5 in 1985 with the song. So the first time the song was covered and released as a single it was a hit. The Snowman was first shown on TV when I was 2 and I still watch it at least once every Christmas.

My son and I were at a small gig (Stone Roses tribute) on Saturday night and during the interval the venue played some music and this song came on. The place erupted singing and dancing to it in a way I sometimes think only working class British folk can. I looked at my 14 year old who was stood up belting the words out like they meant the world to him. Seeing him enjoying life and feeling so comfortable in himself doing so was an amazing moment.

The throw 25s into this which he made still has me gobsmacked

Absolutely no surprise it's pronounced GAY-LA your side of the pond. No surprise at all. Although, Queen's Radio Ga Ga now makes more sense.

Unless the groom's friends spoil it by booking some prostitutes through a gay pimp they met in Chicago while looking for the a wedding dress maker.
