Re: 50s Music on BBC

Well I managed to listen to some of the music over the four days - the first thing I discovered was that it wasn't actually on BBC Radio 2 but a temporary DAB and online channel called "BBC Radio 2 50s". I have just scanned through all the lists of music played, and discovered that the only Ruby rec...

Re: Ruby's Birthday Today!

Bernie's password problem was that he was suddenly asked for it on Login and couldn't remember it! :( We have all been there at some time. If you forget your password and keep typing in different ones to try and guess what it was, you get a maximum of 5 attempts. After this, you are locked out and e...

Ruby's Birthday Today!

Just remembering that it would have been Ruby's 81st Birthday today. Sadly she is no longer with us, but we can go on remembering her through this website, thanks to Timmer and the fans who post here, and through the legacy of her lovely recordings.

Re: Long Awaited Unseen Photos

Five more photographs uploaded today. Bernie will tell us which pantomime is represented by the nice picture of Ruby all dressed in stage clothes. Two of the new park shots were obviously taken at the same time as the one used on the label of the President LP and CD, and the celebration of Ruby and ...

Re: The Return of the Roses

Thank you Bernie. In view of the mild weather, and that we haven't had the roses for a while, I thought I would let them grow again on the Home Page.

Re: New Home Page

Well doesn't time fly! Here we are a year later and so it is time to bring up the Christmas Home Page. A change of computer plus having to learn Windows 10, and encountering a few problems on the way, meant that for a few hours there was no top picture! :( But I have finally got it sorted, so here i...

It's Bernie's birthday today!

Happy Birthday Bernie! They do seem to keep coming round more quickly don't they? At any rate, I seem to be catching you up!

Good on you, and many more to come!

Re: Rubys Fontana Records

The remaining four songs that were only released as singles are now in the library. "I Can't Get You Out of My Heart" coupled with "Paper Mansions" was released in May 1967, and both of these songs are really lovely and sung beautifully by Ruby. I have always thought that if the first one had been r...

Sounds of the 50s BBC Radio 2

Typical! I was idly looking through the radio section of the Radio Times this morning and discovered that at 10.00 pm on Radio 2 on Monday evenings they have been running a series called Sounds of the 50s by Leo Green. Only this week was the last of 10 episodes. Has anyone been listening, because su...

Re: Memory Lane

Just grabbed a quick moment before going on holiday to have a listen to bayfm using the Listen Again feature. The programme for Sunday 19th July is now there and Ruby sings at about 1 hour 35 minutes into the session, with the dedication to Bernie following. She sings one of my favourite songs from ...

Re: Ruby radio Plays

Bernie has alerted me to the information that Colin played and talked about Ruby on his programme yesterday. I have just had a listen via the catch-up service and it is very good. He talks not just about Ruby but also Bernie and plays one of their favourite recordings as well as one by Ruby. If you ...

Re: Memory Lane this afternoon (Sunday)

Thank you Nick, I will have try at Listen Again at the end of the week. Thank you so much for helping to keep Ruby's lovely voice alive on the air.

I also via this Forum would like to send you my best wishes for your recovery from your recent operation.
