Re: photos of Rubys 21st birthday

Hi, everybody. Regarding Ruby's 21st birthday, don't forget that my friend Barry Adams gave a first-hand account of the occasion in his submission "My Personal Meeting with Ruby Murray, Years Ago", currently about halfway down Page 4. Barry (badams) was Ruby's date or chaperone on the evening of thi...

Re: A Birthday Anniversary

Hi, Bernie. Yes, although I have nothing more I can contribute, I still check the messages here a few times a week. Since I usually check in at about midnight (at my new home in Calgary, Alberta), it's very early morning in England and Spain, so nobody over there would likely notice. I'm surprised t...

Good luck, Bernie.

Re: Thinking Today of Ruby,

Hi, everyone. Happy St. Patrick's Day. As I've told Bernie, I just missed being born on March 17. I just turned 68 at 10 minutes before midnight (British Columbia time) on March 16, so I was born between the "Ides of March" and St. Patrick's Day. I have recently had a connection to Ruby's "Macushla ...

The Spinning Wheel

Hello, kureelpa. Unfortunately, there is no CD of The Spinning Wheel album, because that LP/EP was recorded by Fontana, not EMI. One track, on that album, that would probably interest you is "If We Only Had Old Ireland Over Here", about Irish folks in Australia. If you email me (click on envelope to...

Re: My Heart is Broken

Thanks, John.
I should have remembered Gwen Verdon, but I could just recall a pretty red-head.

Re: My Heart is Broken

Hi, everyone. I wouldn't have recognized the song "Heart" by name unless Ted had pointed out that it was from "Damn Yankees". I always thought it was "You've Got to have Heart". It was a terrific movie, and a terrific song (especially for us baseball fans, and particularly for us Yankee haters), but...

Re: Ruby's 54 year old record

Hello Teddy, and all the others. I fail to understand the UK's enthusiasm for Michael Jackson. Not only is his position on the charts posthumous, it is commemorative. As such, it doesn't compare to Ruby's Golden Anniversary Collection. Anyway, how could anybody compare Ruby's beautiful voice to that...

Re: Pandora.com

Hi Timmer.

I just tried Pandora, only to find out that even here in Canada, it is not available. So much for Free Trade and all that.

Thanks. Ralph

Ruby's "The Spinning Wheel" LP (Fontana Special)

Hi, everybody. I have "The Spinning Wheel", but have often wished that I could digitize some of the songs on it, especially "Come Back, Paddy Reilly" and "If We Only Had Old Ireland Over Here". I have the software, and have digitized several old cassette tapes, but my phonograph does not have ports ...

Re: Broadcast on Ruby's Birthday.

Hi, Bernie. I just listened to the recording of your interview with Vince Tracy. Each time a different song began, it brought tears to my eyes. I don't know why because I listen to Ruby nearly every day. It just seemed special to hear her on radio, as if we were hearing her 'live' in the '50s. You w...
