I think you have to be a tenor player to get Freddy Martin. My first love is Prez, then Chu - but after years of, like everyone else, sneering at the Martin sound I now find I am moved - and fascinated by it - and I wish I could do it. Eddie Miller, who normally couldn't have sounded less like Freddy could turn it on at will - dig the Bob Crosby recording of San Antonio Rose. The Martin recording of Flamingo is one of the most beautiful things I've ever heard. Bird - only an occasional tenorist, loved Fred too.

For a long time (decades ago!) Nat's recording of 'Never Let Me go' was the only one around.

As a small child my all time favorite was E. Nesbit. I also liked Arthur Ransome, and the 'William' books but hated Enid Blyton. I have searched high and low for a copy of a book that totally enthralled me at about age 6. It was one of those hard covered editions from the early 20th century with the colored Arthur Rackham style illustrations protected by semi-transparent covering pages and was, to the best of my memory called 'Pinky and the Whale' - Pinky - a young lad has many adventures while sailing to exotic places in a rococo Victorian gazebo lashed to the back of a tame whale. Pinky was accompanied, I seem to remember by a cat and a monkey. Some of the illustrations showed warships with the kind of outward curving bows that were a feature of pre WWI battleships. No idea who the author was. By twelve I'd moved on to James T. Farrell, John dos Passos and James Hadley Chase.
