MY FUNNY VALENTINE
For Valentine's Day 2022, here's the first version of the famous Rogers & Hart classic from 2019. The 2021 recording (with a very different arrangement) is on this page too if you scroll down. This video features a galaxy of stars from the golden age of Hollywood - can you name them?

Do Gangsters Drink Milk?
EVERYTHING HAPPENS TO ME
Life down a World War 2 air raid shelter can have its drawbacks, especially when it comes to fresh milk. Those of a certain age will remember days gone by when the milkman would deliver a pint or two on the doorstep every morning. Of course, it's always possible that someone might come along and steal the white liquid, but surely no-one would be so mean? Gangsters might try, but do gangsters actually drink milk? The answer to this question can be found by watching the video.
