Kannst Du "Muß i denn"?
muss i denn, muss i denn
zum städtele hinaus,

Gerrit up ye while yer young....now there was a song ! ! !
Black Street Blues,,,,,,,another brammer.
In the lands of the North,where the Black Rocks stand guard against the cold of the sea,in the dark night that is very long the Men of the Northlands sit by their log fires and they tell a tale,,,,,,,,
You get a night out with Sally Pickles if you can guess where this comes from.
Na ja
So began each of the Sagas of Noggin the Nog, in which the crown of Noggin, Prince of the Nogs is sought by his wicked uncle Nogbad the Bad who devises evil plots to threaten the safety of the kingdom, and sometimes the world, in order to force Noggin to give up his crown.
What do I get?

Q
Well done Queenie.I'm amazed you got it as this programme was released long before you descended from the skies.

Derek thanks for your bass lines, they have been SOOOO important for me! Sorry for posting a message that has nothing to to will all the rest here. I just wanted to tell you - with the guy from Japan, are THE bass players. Thanks, really!
Derek, you god you lol. I started playing bass because of you. Well, kinda. I was at the Simple Minds (was a big fan) concert in the Edinburgh Playhouse circa promised you a miracle. I was in the front row and you kept standing on my hands, so you gave me your plectrum to make up for it lol. I also met you a couple of times up at castlecliff as I used to hang out (pester) there. Hope youre doing well mate, you are a star.
