Re the 80s songs - we closed yesterday’s morning service with a really upbeat celebration song by John Gibson - including one chorus ‘drums only’ - real nostalgia stuff. Almost dancing in the aisles...🤫

Garden Party - Rick Nelson

Ruby don’t take your love to town -Kenny Rogers and the first edition

Man of mystery - the shadows

Bang Bang - Cher

Little brown jug - Glenn Miller Orch

Mack the Knife - Bobby Darin

Rupert the bear - Jackie Lee

Annie’s Song - John Denver

Please please me - Beatles

I suppose I should have said ‘songs....from the 80s that everyone knows - rather than new-to-us songs she’s brought with her’. (No reflection on her, by the way, she is brilliant)

The wayward wind - Frank Ifield

Love like a man - also Ten Years After

Itsy bitsy teenie weenie yellow polka dot bikini - Brian Hyland

The Streak - Ray Stevens

My thoughts exactly. and the amount of ‘relic’ just makes it look like a very badly treated instrument - eg all the damage around the headstock - that’s not ‘wear’.

Can’t buy me love - JPG&R

5 4 3 2 1 - Manfred Mann

Our new (employed) worship leader has received a couple of comments from older folks that she doesn’t include enough older songs and hymns. She’s on holiday this week, so 3 out of the 4 songs for Sunday morning are from the 80s... On another subject, I was in the congregation yesterday, and it was really good to be able to sing again, albeit wearing a mask.

Brilliant! Ta muchly!

Another suitcase in another hall - Barbara Dickson

Tale against myself - we use MEI mixers with wired in-ears, and a couple of weeks ago when I was in the band, all had been fine throughout the service, until the last song, after the sermon, when I found I couldn’t hear myself. I could hear the rest of the band reasonably well. (We are on a ‘proper’ stage, with PA and bass sub out front) To cut a long story short, I’d of course omitted to plug my ear buds into the MEI. But the embarrassing part was that the livestream guy had noticed , and kept the camera on me for lengthy periods, meaning that everyone watching saw my antics on the YouTube stream - pulling buds out, putting them back in between verses, adjusting volumes, etc, trying to get some sound, before I realised what I’d (not) done... I suppose the upside though, was that for once, a bass player was in camera shot!! (Even if he did look daft)👍👍

From a Jack to a King - Ned Miller

I have Basschat’s ‘unread posts’ as one of my favourites in Google, and prior to the update, I was taken straight to the ‘orange line’ on each thread. Since the update though, it seems quite random. Occasionally, if there have been a lot of posts, it’s not even on the right page. Is there any way I can adjust this, please? Thanks in advance
