I've been looking for this record for a long time and good old Google supplies the answer via You Tube. You may remember Billy Fury recording the song, but this was the original and I don't think there's much doubt that the originals are nearly always the best. According to Wkipedia he now sells used cars in Paducah, Kentucky.

Warming up for their Four Peaks challenge and recital on Scafell Pike on Thursday, July 24 the Extreme Cellists playing Felix Mendelssohn's "Lift Thine Eyes" on Higger Tor in the Peak District, Derbyshire. Keen walkers might fancy going along to see and hear them in action on Scafell Pike next Thursday. It's all in aid of charity too.

Neil Sedaka made this in 1960 when he was just 21 and was among his host of hits in that period. He continued to flourish and made some even better records in the 70's and 80's. Terrific performer who is still doing the rounds and I note on his website he has dates as far ahead in the States as November 2009.

If you haven't experienced a Rockin' Ronnie Riot and the Rebels performance it does come with a health warning. Described as wacky funsters who have been in and out of the music scene in west Cumbria since Workington Reds were a Football League side, they have achieved almost cult status. As they are Workington Reds fans, and have actually given permission for this track to be featured on Cumbria's fastest growing website, they have to be given top billing. Fasten your seat belts, reach for the oxygen mask and relax - this is different.

Great thing this Wikipedia. I'd chosen this record for today and suddenly decided I wanted to know more about Ernie. Here's what I found.

Born Ernest Kador, Jr., in New Orleans, Louisiana, K-Doe is perhaps best known for his colourful personality and his 1961 hit song "Mother-In-Law," which went to No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 in the United States. K-Doe predicted that the only currently familiar tunes which will still be known in 1,000 years are "The Star Spangled Banner" and his "Mother In Law". His next biggest hit was "A Certain Girl".

He actually died in 2001 aged 65 and at the time of his death was still very active on the rhythm and blues, as well as jazz scene.

South Cumbria Rivers Trust presents the Border TV Lookaround report from the first ever all England open skimming championships featuring the organiser Ben Lamb and Phil 'the spin' McChesney. It might give you an idea about what the contest is all about. Other major events are held in Wales and Scotland, and there is a Wold Stone Skimming championship.

I think this is an absolute classic from 1963. I remember hearing it on Radio Luxemburg, ordering it next day at Mrs Kovary's next to the picture house (the Grand) in Cockermouth and having to wait three weeks before it came in. Wonderful memories - great song, superbly sung.

No, I haven't taken leave of my senses. I know this isn't my cup of tea but I gave a choice to my 15-year-old daughter for the day and this is what she came up with. I'm slowly trying to feed her the good stuff without much success at the moment, as you can see - and hear.

I didn't realise until checking this video that it was as long ago as 1975 that Harley and Cockney Rebel brought-out this classic. I think his phraseology is brilliant, makes the record. Good stuff.
