A Friday Music Nostalgic Trip Down Memory Lane

[Bobbisox1]

What song was out when you met and married/ lived with the man/ woman you wanted to spend your live with

Lady in Red for us ( sorry Ken I know you hate that song)

[Eileensde]

I have just remembered the song my parents danced to at their wedding - I only have eyes for you by the flamingos.

[gness]

My second marriage in Canada coincided with MrG's decision to extend his contract and for us to stay or return to England. I said the decision was his.
He played this at our reception to let me know.

[Bobbisox1]

Haha , love it Gness

[gness]

My third marriage happened because Dave fell in love with an Irish girl who could sing this in Irish in a pub in Mayo. It became ours and was played at our wedding in D O's pub here.

[Bobbisox1]

My favourite rendition of Silent Night is sung by Sinead , makes the hairs on my arms stand up

[gness]

Love listening to her, Bobbi. Knowing the life she's had I feel for her and what she's gone through. A kind and a more forgiving person than I could ever be.

[Bobbisox1]

Oh I might download her biography to my Kindle Gness , did she at one time become a Nun?

[gness]

She has a very confused history, Bobbi. Not sure that becoming a nun was part of it. She detests Catholicism as much as I do and with good reason. You can find lots to read about her but it's harrowing and won't do your BP any good!

[Bobbisox1]

I’ll work on the BP then read it after that Gness ;0))

[Ken4155]

She became a Muslim, Bobbs.

[Bobbisox1]

Why do I think I’ve seen her in a Nuns habit with her hands in prayer?

[gness]

I'd leave it til then, Bobbi. I don't read biographies but I have read lots about her and watched interviews. Lots of sadness at the hands of others. Great voice though!

[Ken4155]

That was in a vid for one of her songs - quite controversial as i recall.

Arh right,thanks Ken
My favourite genre of books Gness ( both autobiography’s and biography’s )

[gness]

She was once ordained a priest by some Catholic sect, Bobbi. Maybe it was then you saw the picture. Later converted to Islam. Lost soul searching I guess, and I can see why.

[gness]

She did rip up, on stage, a picture of the Pope as a protest against abuse. Caused a fuss. As did my planting in my garden the plaster statue of Our Lady that I spent, as a child, far too many hours on my knees praying to as a punishment for.....well never really knew what for. :-)

[Ken4155]

Her Muslim name is Shuhada Sadaqat

[The Builder]

I was reminded of this recently Bobbi, when Olivia Newton John died.
It was her... "I Honestly Love You".

Being a fully paid-up member of The Sap of the Month Club, I made my feelings known.

It didn't take though :o(

[Buenchico]

As I've managed to stay single, I can't really post a video that fits exactly with what Bobbi's asking for.

However I'm reminded of my my first girlfriend at college, Viv, who I ditched at the end of the first term when I discovered that I was the only person in our year group who she'd not bothered to tell about our engagement!

Up until then, this was always 'our' song:
