Who is the smotthest of smooth??

No! Not Adam from Rio silly!

However please take this opportunity to list your favourite crooners.....if indeed you have such a thing. This may be a challenge for MadMac.

I went to see Jamie Cullum once in the Usher Hall. He was dreadful but I really like this:

Jamie Cullum - Gran Torino

maybe as I liked the film....

    I see Henri has a couple of big posts in F*cebook. I wonder why he's stopped visiting us here? (I hope you didnt upset him Mister Glen Miller!). Julie and Norrie are there too. And Mad Mac, trying to upset everyone.

    Next theme is Artists with 3 Names.

    Has to be
    Can't take my eyes off of you

    We got the sad news about two hours into the hospitality session in the richmond suite (where four layers of security are on hand to ensure you don't take your jacket off) at goodwood races on wednesday. After a couple of seconds stunned silence there sprang a doo doo doo doo do de doo doo and soon we could be heard at the other end of the sussex downs. Nobody complained. It's okay to make a total public nuisance of yourself as long as you have that jacket on.
