Hi ALL,

Here is my new set list for my next gig

    You Forgot Your Gloves.
    Stayin Alive.
    I’m still standing
    You take my breath away
    It might as well rain until September
    No milk today
    Make the world go away
    The A Strain
    Radio gag gag
    The world we knew
    Wipe out
    Don’t stand so close to me
    Move over darling
    Blame it on the bogie
    Behind closed doors
    From a distance” and
    Put your sweet lips a little closer to the phone

All the best, Brian007

Brian,

I like your list of songs to play. Thought provoking! How about if we all play something along the lines you are suggesting?

JohnT. You have already done one to start the ball rolling, so I will repeat it here:
Thought it would be appropriate for the Coronavirus.

Fly Me To The Moon

https://app.box.com/s/vxa1z7fszlrpawnqhyszyjg9newft9w9

And I have one for you all too. Is this a bit too morbid?

The End Of The World

https://app.box.com/s/mggn7kiz7ww14hff40pxo9lhayw2vuib

If you have something to add to this, please click on POSTREPLY and add your song.

Brian. What have you got for us? One out of your Gig List? I think my favourite title from your list is "You take my breath away".

Hi All,

Well it starting to hit home know whats happening, Sainsbury to close restaurants/ meat and fish counter/ and Pizza counters and to introduce early opening for over 70s only, Mc donalds to switch to drive through only , no seating

so I am adding this one to my set list



All the Best, Brian007

Hi

Early opening for over 70's etc. (which would include me because of health issues) is not that useful - many of us struggle to get up & get going early in the morning! Still, it's not an immediate problem as I stocked up on ready meals etc on Monday, and my daughter has said she'll pick up other bits of shopping as I need them - and there's a convenience store just round the corner.

Keep safe.

Every Blessing

Tony

Hi Tony,

I can well understand that it may not be useful to a lot of over 70s me included but unless you can get there, bus passes don`t start till 9.30 am around here


All the bests, Brian007

Hi

In answer to the query about organ shops, Promenade Music in Morecambe sent an e-mail announcement that they are still open, but taking appropriate precautions. If you're not in the area, they are on the web. Good prices & knowledgeable staff.

Every Blessing

We've got several of these in our park. I think the bit in the middle has been sawn off by members of the public and used as firewood.

Hi All,

Lots of local business going out of business around here,

its with great sadness that I have to mention the loss of a few local businesses as a result of COVID-19. A local bra manufacturer has gone bust, a submarine company has gone under, a manufacturer of food blenders has gone into liquidation, a dog kennel has had to call in the retrievers and a company supplying paper for origami enthusiasts has folded.

The local strip club has gone tits up, Interflora is pruning its business and Dynorod has gone down the drain. The saddest of all is our local ice cream van man, who was found dead covered in nuts and raspberry sauce. Apparently he couldn't take it any more and topped himself.


All the best, BrIan007
