From the moment you sit at the piano or behind the kit or blow your first note or sing the first chorus of 'The Wheels on the bus go round and round' you're a wannabe.

It's a great song but, as you say, it's been overdone - not just by the 'wannabes' (which Claire has long moved up from) but by every singer - it's almost become their national anthem. I loved the first thousand renditions but after that I wondered why they didn't dip further into the Porgy and Bess songbook?Lancehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04494856116843281101noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2890708154880054256.post-77723954133306682982016-08-21T20:13:56.027+01:002016-08-21T20:13:56.027+01:00ha,ha,had a good laugh at"Summertime" An...ha,ha,had a good laugh at"Summertime" Ann...cannot imagine why Lance dislikes it so much, or maybe it's because it is overdone by wannabes!!Liznoreply@blogger.com
