H
What a great voice he has got I spend many hrs in my music room making my rugs and listening to him and other good singers and doing my garden when my legs let me and not forgetting the weather
I have a great life with a great wife and the cat.Will I carry on life story, Iget so many asking me to do it?But some have stopped me because they say I have in the pass done it to show off etc ,which is far from the truth. Thank you.

OH NO! Not you as well Vic! There’s nothing offensive about your life story so far and if it is something that you enjoy doing and is interesting to others please continue.
As for your choice of music there may be some that don’t agree with you but they have plenty of alternatives to choose from if they so wish.
I just hope that this forum settles down again soon but one can only dream:

Despite what others might think (or I might say! ), I actually like reading experiences of people's lives, particularly if it's more interesting than mine!
As far as music goes, when I'm walking around the hills and cliffs, the stuff I listen to ranges from Tom Jones and Paloma Faith to the Band of the Grenadier Guards and National Anthems, so I can't comment on anyones musical choices

When I'm walking around the hills and cliffs I'm listening to the birds and the bees, and the wind in the trees.

I was playing the violin from the age of four till I was in my 30s work and arthritis stopped it and in the military band I played the eflat clarinet most of you know the and clarinet because of it being a long reed instrument the one I played was very short in length and very hard to play because it was so small but the thing about it ,it played all the solo parts and of a higher pitch and there was only one in the band.
But the army cut back on bands and because I was still young I got made temporary redundant from the band and it was some years before I was offered a post back in a band but by this time Iwas very unwell and had to say no and come out of the army.But still love my music so I now try to play a guitar and sing along with it .I loved to sing too, done that also for some years.

Go for it Vic, it will distract from the pesky legs for a bit and who else will tell the story if not you?
My partners father was in the Buffs for a while, but because he never told his story we don't know anything about his time, plus not many of the Buffs are left to tell the regiments history!

Mr Barrington sir !Thank you for saying that and how true, I joined the Buffs at the age of just 16 in 1958 and was there at the end of the life of the Buffs and the start of the new Queens own Buffs now gone to and true not many old Buffs left down to maybe a few 100s or less than that. I will think on what you have wrote and will act on it in the next few days.
