Hello Friends.

Because the Teaser that I posted caused quite a stir, I have gone back on my word and will post another one. -

In which song lyric was Ruby undecided whether she was right or not?

Adios Amigos. Bernie.

Hello John,

Sorry John, it isn't 'Boy Meets Girl'. Have another go. No clues at this stage.
Adios Amigo. Bernie.

Teaser Clue.

Post by Bernie Burgess »

Hello Friends,

The Teaser. It's trifle early to give a clue- but - You cannot find the answer on the new release. That really narrows the whole thing down considerably.

Adios Amigos. Bernie.

Could the answer to the latest teaser be 'Nevertheless' ?

Maybe I'm right, and maybe I'm wrong, but I also think it is "Nevertheless".

The Teaser.

Graham,

I was hoping that the teaser would last a little longer - I never learn do I?

You are quite right Graham - "Maybe I'm right and maybe I'm wrong"

Back to the drawing board Bernie. Adios Amigo. Bernie.

P.S. I have just noticed at the last minute that Gerald had got the answer too. Will you agree to share the prize?

John,

I could cover up my goof regarding calling you Graham by saying

"Did you notice the deliberate mistake" MATRON???????????

Hi Bernie,

If it's any consolation to you,I did know the answer(Nevertheless I'm In Love With You).

Although I did not post my answer upon the "Message Board" lets just say that you can see into the future and just knew that I would guess it.

Best Wishes
Graham

Hello Graham,

How on earth did you guess Graham?

P.S. Nevertheless, thanks for the face saving gesture. You can have a share of the prize too. The real truth is that I was going to follow up by replying to you previous message but the brain worked faster than my hands.

Adios Amigo. Bernie.

Another Teaser

Post by Gerald Lawrence »

Let's see if I can think of one that is a bit more cryptic.

In which song does the lyric suggest that Ruby should develop total amnesia?

Gerald's Teaser.

Post by Bernie Burgess »

Graham, (or is it John?)

That is brilliant, even if it's not the answer which I am sure it is, it a great answer. I was chatting to Gerald over the telephone and took the opportunity to submit my answer to him then - I was wrong.

Adios Amigo.

Well done Graham! Have you been listening to all the CDs to get that one line? The line I actually had in mind was "no more memories" but the song title is absolutely spot on.

This was one of Ruby's songs that I had not heard until I started collecting again, a few years ago. When I first heard it, I was just stunned into silence by how lovely the song is, which I had heard before of course, but more particularly, how well Ruby sings it. Sandy had offered to let me have some of the songs from her copy of "Ruby" but this one would not play, so Bernie very kindly stepped in and sent me a tape of it from Spain.

The second bonus came when I realised that the LP "Ruby" was available in stereo, so I spent a bit of money on Ebay to get hold of a very good, clean copy of it, mainly for this one song. Now I could hear the arrangement for the orchestra more clearly, with the trumpet to the right just holding that one note right at the start. Brilliant!

And now we have it on CD - what more can I say, except a big Thank You to EMI.

Needless to say, this song has become one of my special favourites.

Music Maestro Please

Gerald - the song dates originally from the late 1930s. Through the years it's been recorded by Flanagan & Allen, Al Bowlly, Jeri Southern, Tommy Dorsey and Frankie Laine - among others.
