Re: Ruby Murray - some thoughts

The film you refer to was 'With a song in My Heart'. It might be worthwhile if you contacted Last FM [an internet service]and put them straight on their incorrect facts about Ruby Murry. They could then change their name to First FM (sic) maybe.....or has that been taken? I have noticed that quite a...

I appreciate and share your concerns...all we can do is try and influence people and I think this site does a pretty good job

Re: Casual visitors to the site (aka Guests).....

Well, hard to argue with the logic particularly given your first hand knowledge of the music business. Maybe in the not too distant future we will see a return to quality (good vocals etc) popular music. Whilst there is a lot of good music still about sadly today it can be just about image and insta...
