Readers may have missed me [that's me between Sarah Travena and Ian Shaw - Claire Kelly far right] from BSH in recent weeks (or not?) so I thought I’d better explain my absence. I’ve been struck down with what one doctor called an ‘Angry Gallstone’ and I’ve spent a week in hospital, to which I’m returning within the month, for removal of my gall bladder. This meant that I missed the GIJF and also loads of good things at the Globe.
However I’ve managed to keep Body And Soul together and I Ain’t Misbehavin’, as I eat very low fat just now. All of Me occasionally aches, so I Don’t Get Around Much Any More, and each morning I say to myself Lady Be Good. It’s not a bad as having a Fever. I’d go out more but we’ve had some Stormy Weather lately. I’m looking forward to the time after the operation when there’ll be No More Blues and I’ll declare that It’s Alright With Me.
Amazing what you can do with song titles. I’d love other readers to come up with even better examples.

Straighten Up and Fly Right. All the best for a speedy and complete recovery. Seb
I bumped into "My Old Flame" "On the Street Where You Live". I asked her, "What's New?" She said, "I'm Getting Married in the Morning". I said, "Congratulations" then decided I must "Take the A Train". I got off at Lonely St. and headed for "Heartbreak Hotel"
After your operation, it'll be "So nice to come home to , so nice by the fire"...
From Ann Alex, Thanks so much Seb for the good wishes. I love that song title, I suppose it comes from WW2, a message to pilots. And Lance, I hope that's not the story of your life!
I think Straighten Up and Fly Right is about kicking the habit!
Jude Murphy Get well soon, Ann x

Ann as "Spring will be a little late this year," when you get back home it's sure to be "Summertime"
From Ann Alex. Thanks to all of you for the good wishes and the fun of the song titles!
Are you going to St James Infirmary? It could be The Last Dance, one thing is for sure, There’ll Never Be Another You (phew!). On your return to the folk/jazz scene you could quote Oscar Brown Jnr - Excuse Me For Livin’ and suggest Somebody Buy Me a Drink. That’s assuming it isn’t a case of After You’ve Gone!
