Topic: Music and my Dads Parents

I was very close to my father parents they were great fun to be with and after my father died at a young age they had a big hand with me my younger brother and sister upbringings. Though I do have a lot older siblings born to my mum they didn’t play that much in that part of my life's journey. Anyway my grandparents were married as young teenagers my father was born when they were 17 year old and they truly loved each other’s company. They were mostly inclined to like the old songs that came out and up to the second war both every now and then they would like something more modern. I think it was their way of trying to be up with times and be relevant to us kids in a fun way. One song that they surprised me was a song they would sing around the house a sixties hit song with them usually getting the lyrics wrong which made it even more endearing. So instead of singing   Gor blimey hello, Mrs. Jones How's old Bert's lumbago? They would sing Gor Blimey Mrs Jones how’s your birds lumbago?  here its is attached    If Punk Rock had been around in those days Grandpah and Nan singing this song would have qualified even though they didn’t look the part.
