There are several versions available on this link, I think that Henry Hall’s is preferable, Phyllis Robins is certainly a better vocalist than Elsie Carlisle, but that is just a personal preference.

She certainly kept working during the bad times of the 1930s. This probably suits her style a little better, with Ambrose and his Orchestra.

I do not know if this ha worked, but the four year old from next door told me to click on preview and one of my favourite pieces can be seen, there is also a 7 minute version from Glen Campbell & Jimmy Webb, but of all the versions, my favourite is by Maynard Ferguson on MF Horn 4, live from Jimmys.

Mars was clearly visible in the sky last night. I looked with my binoculars but didn`t see any little green men. It`s known as the bringer of war so it wants to bugger off, we`ve got enough problems with this bloody virus.

I have a thing about McArthur Park and remember the anger of the music industry when the seven minute Richard Harris version came out and like Don MacLean's American Pie (another great 7 minute song) only a segment is ever played on the radio. Ferguson actually produced two CDs with it on, one has the key change segment in the middle played by saxes, the other is guitars. The words really are almost meaningless, but convey the 'hippie' speak of the flower power late 60s period. I have been to McArthur Park. For those with a more modern bent, the Donna Summer (disco) version is well worth a listen. My music taste ranges across the whole spectrum from the forties/fifties balladeers, thro' the birth of rock and roll and all those 'I see the moon, the moon sees me' type songs to the great rock and roll and country music, but my favourites remain the maverick records - Rodrigo's Aranjuez guitar concerto played by Jim Hall or contraverselly by Miles Davis, but I also have a great love of the classics. Watch this space now I have done it once, I could do it again. Note I only say could.
