COMSUBBBS Posts: 2974 Location: Liverpool, England | Subject: Sundays Song's # 115 First, are a couple of old hits from the sixties for your edification Next is the 1965 recording of Gerry Marsden & the Pacemakers singing “You’ll Never Walk Alone” from the 1946 musical “Carousel “by Rodgers and Hammerstein. Many big stars had recorded this song over the years but Gerry was perhaps more passionate in his delivery because it was the anthem of his home soccer team Liverpool FC. When it became a No 1 hit it was played at every home game of the team right up to the present day. Fifty years later when Liverpool were on their first tour of Australia, 95,000 Aussie Liverpool FC fans and those of the opposing team, Melbourne Victory, sang YNWA as a salute to the visiting Reds. Thank you, Australia for those magic moments. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZV5tgZlTEkQ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EipdAjhImrc https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QOXwzvk1WTc https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5iLL57puZPM Pedro | ||

Back then when home on leave it didn’t take me long to change from my No 1 uniform into more fashionable civvies. The RN dress uniform was still a big bird puller back then but more important was to wear a dark mohair suit with a white pin-tab shirt, black knit tie and black winkle picker side zip-up boots. Okay, the Tony Curtis haircut didn’t look as good as it should have after the Navy finished trimming it (anything under your cap was your own) but it still seemed to pass muster with the girls. The girls themselves always dressed in style and looked exceptionally smooth as far as I can fondly recall. As our resident, Kansas City guru has already pointed out (no words only graphics yet again) change may be a progressive constant, but it is not always the best path to take in some circumstances. It was an accepted and proven British way of social dress at the time reliant upon no one else’s opinions nor requiring their permission. Pedro ;) Edited by Pedro 2019-11-18 6:46 PM | ||
