"I Believe".



 This was the sight when I went to feed and water the livestock on Sunday morning:

The Oxford sow had given birth to seven beautiful piglets.

I remember seeing The Bachelors with my mum and dad at the Floral Hall in Scarborough in the nineteen seventies.   My mum and dad were not singing with them I might add.πŸ™‚
 
We sat on seats in the theatre and watched The Bachelors sing.  
One of their songs began playing on my mental jukebox when I saw the piglets:



They really could sing.

  1. You have your hands full now, when I was a child my uncle brought home a piglet for us to hand feed, it was going to a small holding and they wanted it used to humans, we loved her.

  2. Pigs are great characters Marlene. Already they are walking around and full of mischief and devilment.

  3. We should form a Bachelors tribute band. I'll be Con Cluskey, you can be be Dec Cluskey and Lord Peregrine can be John Stokes. They were the Take That of the nineteen sixties.

  5. Bachelors Irish Peas would be a good name for our tribute band. We would big in Ireland and Iceland. Maybe even Lidl.

  6. As soon as I saw the title it started up in my head. Harmonies spot on. Neat how the get to the microphone just in time. I knew CC lived in Elland. He was always available to give talks locally. He came to Denby Dale but I couldn't go that day.

  7. The harmonies are sensational Tasker. Up there with the likes of Gene Pitney. It is neat how they get to the microphone just in time. I am glad my parents took me to see The Bachelors. I have very eclectic music taste: folk, punk, Heavy Rock, Prog to Lady Ga Ga and Clannad..

  11. It says it is photo shy River and doesn't wish to vogue like the Madonna song. Yes The Bachelors were great and could really sing.
