iTunes
For any of you who might have an iPod (no, I didn't know what it was either, but you sometimes see teenagers with a small white box hanging round their neck with leads coming from it into their ears - it is an electronic music player) apparently you can download music from a website called iTunes.

A Visit to the area where Ruby grew up
I have just posted in the Library, under Stories, a description of the visit I made during the summer of last year to the area where Ruby grew up as a youngster. The document includes some photographs, so may take a little while to download.

Yet Another New CD
I have just spotted on the HMV website another new CD by Ruby - this one is innovatively called "Softly, Softly". It is on the XTRA label, due for release next month, and the track listing appears to be another re-arrangement of old favourites: 1. Softly Softly 2. What Could Be More Beautiful? 3. He...

Bernie, we all should add our thanks to you for YOUR tireless efforts this year. I am certain that however hard any of us might have tried to mark Ruby's Golden Year properly, it was the signature of "Bernie Burgess" on the bottom of each letter that had the desired effect. Speaking for myself, I wa...

17th December 1996
Today is the 9th anniversary of Ruby's sad passing. I have been listening to CD1 of the Golden Anniversary Collection as my way of remembering this lovely singer.

Just to add to the above, you will find, Malcolm, that all but one of the songs from the LP Album "Endearing Young Charms" are to be found on the Golden Anniversary Collection. This is because they have not been available in good quality direct-from-the-masters on CD before. The missing one is "Let ...

Got it! "Oh I mind when I left her, for to cross o'er the sea, for to try and make a fortune, for Mary and me". It's from "Lovely Derry on the Banks of the Foyle" - a beautiful song, beautifully sung by Ruby, to an excellent arrangement. It is interesting that it is a song for a male singer, but no ...
