Avalon by Brian Ferry/Roxy Music

I first heard it late one night at the end of a simply terrible day when we danced to it, apologised to each other and all was well with our world again!

Oi Katy! Is that what you were threatening to sing at the karaoke late night session in the pub? - that night when you tried to focus on the 300+ songs in the book then declared that it was all rubbish cos they didn't have the only song you wanted to sing?  Cos would have loved to have heard you attempt to try it ;D

A hard choice.............

Dancing Queen by Abba, 'cos it was playing on my car radio as I watched the plane that was taking my then boyfriend over to the States on a football tour in 1976, who is now my hubby, nearly 32 years later and we both still get up and dance to it whenever and wherever it's played!

Let it Grow by Eric Clapton............'cos hubby can't play the guitar like the master  ;D

Linda

OK I've thought about it and I can't get away from it, Eric Clapton 'Tears in Heaven' despite it being such a sad song, it is my favourite.
