Ray Davies 'Storyteller'. (I confess I cheated and looked this subject up.) Still have a feeling there must be some folk song with a title like this somewhere. I'm probably wrong though.

Good Morning Simon and Everyone



Off to think about story telling but the first song that jumped to mind was



VINCENT - DON MACLEAN

Good Morning Simon, Team and Blogpoppets



#Storytelleroldies



NEVERENDING STORY - Limahl



STORY - Maroon 5



LIVE TO TELL - Madonna



EVERY DAY I WRITE THE BOOK - Elvis Costello



PAPERBACK WRITER - Beatles



STORYTELLING - Belle and Sebastian



WONDEROUS STORY - Yes



Hi ho, hi ho...



~X~

Good Morning All;



Wet and grey here, and the weather's not so good either! *Boom Tish*



A book dedication, eh? I think probably best make sure all children (and wives) are included, just to be on the safe side.



Oldie suggestions... Now I don't know if I'm interpreting the theme right, but I'm going for songs that tell a story...



EMMA - HOT CHOCOLATE



ELEANOR RIGBY - THE BEATLES



THE SNAKE - AL WILSON



ODE TO BILLIE JOE - BOBBIE GENTRY



UP THE JUNCTION - SQUEEZE



Maybe I should think of songs with story in the title. :-/

Zoe, I'm with you thinking of songs that tell a story. Imagine Simon even considering dedicating his book to blog poppets....................



18 YELLOW ROSES - BOBBY DARREN



THE UNICORN - THE BACHELORS

Good morning everyone



I hope the floods are subsiding as it sounds like some areas have been dreadful.

Very cold, dry and windy here but it sounds like rain is heading north!



FAIRYTALE OF NEW YORK ~ The Pogues



NEVER ENDING STORY~ Limahl



A WINTER'S TALE ~ David Essex



EVERY PICTURE TELLS A STORY ~ Rod Stewart



WHEN I WRITE THE BOOK ~ Huey Lewis and The News



WORDS ~ The Bee Gees

#5 Shona - Great minds think alike! ;-)



More songs that tell a story...



CAT'S IN THE CRADLE - HARRY CHAPIN



COWARD OF THE COUNTY - KENNY ROGERS



A BOY NAMED SUE - JOHNNY CASH



PAPA WAS A ROLLING STONE - THE TEMPTATIONS



COME DANCING - THE KINKS



COPACABANA - BARRY MANILOW

BANKS OF THE OHIO - ONJ

Morning all on another wet and dreary day. Thinking particularly of those who are suffering from the effects of flooding, all around the country. Hope all good bloggerfolk had a good weekend.



On a train to Winchester you say Simon? Perhaps the length of the journey (and definitely the bacon roll) will provide the perfect setting to work on the dedication - maybe make a shortlist and then have another look at it on the way back home again - and don't forget whoever it was who invented sherbert lemons, in your deliberations!



As usual, am suffering from Monday morning brain freeze (which generally lasts for a further few days) so can only come up with one song - the title doesn't give anything away but the song tells a story particularly well.



UP THE JUNCTION - SQUEEZE



Righto, off to work on my long list of jobs. See you soon x

Hi Simon and everyone



Only had 3 hours sleep as I was prepping for todays audit at Stafford, worked 5 and a half hours the weekend as I have Wednesday off for another interview and need to ensure I get a full day in that I would lose! Wanted to Zzzzzzzz on trains but really short journeys!



Oooooh a Bloggers dedication, how cool would that be, but I think the family should be 1st Simon!



Now choons:



1. NEVER ENDING STORY - Limahl

2. WONDROUS STORIES - YES

3. CATS IN THE CRADLE - Al Stewart ????

4. UNDER YOUR THUMB - Godley and Creme

5. CAMOFLAGE - Stan Ridgway

Good morning all - it poured with rain overnight but has stopped for the moment.



Storyteller choons ........mmm



How about a part of the new WAR OF THE WORLDS - not sure which bit! Or play the whole thing and that would be Drive Time sorted!



jw

ADELE - J K ROWLING IN THE DEEP

CLIFF RICHARD - LIVING DAHL

Is this classed as a story or tale?



BRIGHT EYES ~ Art Garfunkel

BRUSH UP YOUR SHAKESPEARE - from KISS ME KATE



JW

If you want songs that tell a story, how about



LENINGRAD - Billy Joel



or



COPACABANA - Barry Manilow



A dedication to the bloggers would be lovely Simon, but maybe not the most appropriate - different parts of your world. Although some of us have read the first book. Maybe it should be dedicated to all the schoolchildren you have visited. Not necessarily by name...



:o)

AMERICAN PIE - DON MCCLEAN "A long, long time ago ......................"



JW

By the way, forgot to say how much the Hoffs household is looking forward to tonight's show. We are the 'Morpurgo Massive'! We were introduced to Mr Morpurgo when Teen Hoffs was very small and we listened to a story tape of 'Adolphus Tips'. We were hooked. Mr Morpurgo writes books in such a way that both adults and children can enjoy them and take so much from them, on different levels. Teen Hoffs and I read 'Private Peaceful' several years ago - he would read one chapter to me and then I would read to him in return. We both cried buckets at the end but, I think, for different reasons, because of our differing levels of understanding of the story. We are now planning to go to see the film together. May need tissues.



Mr Morpurgo's books have always featured heavily when it comes to Chr***mas requests and this year is no exception with Master Hoffs asking for 'Medal for Leroy'.



Won't say any more apart from to recommend 'Born to Run' (esp for blogger dog lovers), 'Alone on a Wide Wide Sea' (my favourite) and 'Kensuke's Kingdom (the No 1 in the Hoffs family Morpurgo Top Ten).



Oh yes, and if you get a chance to listen to or read what Mr Morpurgo said in his Dimbleby Lecture last year, I would definitely recommend that you take it.



One more thing - we still love 'Itch'!

EXCERPT FROM A TEENAGE OPERA - KEITH WEST

Amelia, what a lovely picture from yesterday's blog and a lovely chum to keep you company too!.

Morning all!

Well done Simon finishing off the old 2nd toom, any plans for a 3rd??? Id make sure your cherubs are catered for on the dedecation front ~ wouldent want any sibling rivalry now would we.



I do rather like Michael Morpugo books, even if I am a 'little' out of the predicted reading age. Cherub was bought Kasper the King of Cats a couple of birthdays ago which I read to her, and last year while in hospital with the old war wound, I read Born to Run. Hubbs now desperate to be a 'Writer in residence' at ANY hotel :-)



Having trouble with insperation. Perhaps it will hit me laters.

~gill~

CLARA - Martyn Joseph (Songs for the Coming Home)

DIC PENDERYN - Martyn Joseph (Far from Silent)

THE MAYOR OF CANDOR LIED - Martyn Joseph (Run to Cover)

What say,

TO CUT A LONG SOTRY SHORT - SPANDAU BALLET

Not nearly enough short stories around (said the wife of the writer trying to get a collection of short stories taken up) :-)

Morning all.



If I had words - Yvonne Keeley and Scott Fitzgerald.



I could have sworn it was Boney M or similar... goes off to google further..

Hello all



BALLAD OF BONNIE AND CLYDE - Georgie Fame



I can see that Simon is always expecting his homework to be marked - a feeling I recognise so well and one that is a lasting effect of perpetual testing on a conscientious child! In my late twenties I found myself psyching up for non-existent exams as a result of taking them every year from the age of 11 to 26. Summer = exams. Palov's dog had nothing on me!



Similarly, September brings on a desire for sharpened pencils and exercise books.



No it's all right, I know there's no hope!

BALLAD OF LUCY JORDAN = MARIANNE FAITHFUL



JACK AND DIANE - JOHN MELLENCAP



BIGGEST NIGHT OF HER LIFE - HARPERS BIZARRE



LONG SHOT KICKED DE BUCKET - THE PIONEERS

Good morning all,



#storytelling oldies:



bit of an eclectic mix here:



What's The Story Morning Glory - Oasis



Streets Of London - Ralph McTell



Classic - Adrian Gurvitz



Wuthering Heights - Kate Bush

MY BOOK - THE BEAUTIFUL SOUTH



THE BOOKLOVERS - THE DIVINE COMEDY (I know!)

No JBG today? I would have expected him to at the very least pop in and suggest:



GYPSIES, TRAMPS AND THIEVES - Cher



;o)



I regret to say that Michael Morpurgo has so far passed me by. I have heard of him - I knew that he wrote 'War Horse' - but I have never read any of his stories. Must do something to rectify that. Maybe I'll start with Hoffs' suggestion of 'Born to Run' - although I have to ask at the outset: does it have any sad bits in it? I can't cope with stories where bad things happen to dogs...



~X~

Bookends - Simon & Garfunkel



The Book I Read - Talking Heads

Weather report from Exeter:



Some blue sky, dry at the moment, light winds, water levels receding.



The fatal tree incident was very shocking. Poor woman. No doubt urgent inspections today by tree surgeons as there are many trees at the side of a very busy road. And commiserations to all those who have been affected in any way by the weather.

Morning all



Feeling a bit under the weather today (entirely self-inflicted I hasten to add: I'd severely under-estimated the effect losing a couple of stone has on one's tolerance for red wine!)



I've read a few MM books and thoroughly enjoyed them - one particularly memorably on a school trip to the Isles of Scilly where we read to the children each evening from "When the Whales Came".



Oldies - well I think second the choices for:

To Cut a Long Story Short - Spandau Ballet

A Winter's Tale - David Essex



I'll also add for stories which tell a story

The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down - Joan Baez / The Band

A song that tells a story:



Living For The City - Stevie Wonder

The Diary of Horace Wimp - ELO.

Once Upon A Time - Simple Minds

or



Mark Knoppfleler - Jeremaih Dixon!!!!!!!!

My goodneeeeeessssss that was a morning blog too but only by a whiskey of the GMT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!



Sorry whisker!!!!!!!

Even after all these years there is something about waiting for something to be marked that is exciting and terrifying.



I can’t wait for Itch Rocks - can I start lobbying now for our glorious leader to read the audiobook?



#19 Hoffs - great post! Lack of children means Michael Morpurgo has rather passed me by but your enthusiasm makes me want to go and read some of his books. I’ve always thought a good book is a good book regardless of the “target audience”. I loved the Hunger Games trilogy (and of course Itch!) Alone on a Wide Wide Sea sounds wonderful.



#21 Shona - thank you! The borrowed dog has a thing for apples, I am being stared at as I type and crunch, he will have to wait for the core.



#36 Autumn Gale - sorry you are not feeling great, even if it is self-inflicted!



The Bell X1 gig on Friday was great. I’ve seen them loads, usually when they are going full band shows, Friday was semi-acoustic. The frontman, Paul Noonon has a fantastically sexy voice. Musically they are a bit of everything, pop, rock, electronic but always with clever lyrics and great tunes. They have been compared to Radiohead & Talking Heads but more pop.



https://youtu.be/vuvmxm-0U8E



Video is from Friday night - first time I have uploaded one so hopefully working ok. Not really that representative but I was so caught up in the gig I forgot to take a video earlier. Those of you who have been (un)lucky enough to be at events with me will know my “being at the front” obsession, especially true at gigs.



From previous blogs



shefsmog - I spent quite a bit of time working in North Lincolnshire when I lived in England.



Jennie Wren - you were asking about Bellowhead - I have their 2 most recent albums Broadside and Hedonism; I would recommend either of them although I think I prefer the earlier one Hedonism but that is probably just because I’ve listened to it more - I am not expert but the songs have a fantastic energy and life about them that I love.

Morning All,



'My Book' Beautiful South

'Don't Believe A Word' Thin Lizzy



Have a good day everybody

I saw that Fella outside Radio 2 last year Bingo, when we were there for CIN and had a chat with him and some of the other autograph hunters.



It looked pretty serious business to me. They weren't in the least bit amused when I offered mine!

Afternoon all



Can only think of one new one (I think):



'Treason' - Teardrop Explodes ("And then you realise...it's just a story")



Would like to second:



#10 - 'Here's Where The Story Ends'- Tin Tin Out

#4 - 'Ode To Billie Joe' - Bobbie Gentry



N xx

Good Morning Each!



'The Weavers Answer' by Family



'Gather Round' by Love (Might need one small bleep to cover the bs)



or, songs that tell a story..



'Spanish Train' by Chris De Burgh



'The Band Played Waltzing Matilda' by The Pogues



'Alice's Restaurant Massacre' by Arlo Guthrie (Kettle on, feet up for nearly 20 mins)



'Taxi' by Harry Chapin



'John Barleycorn Must Die' by Traffic



'at'll do mi

Ooh, just thought of another!



'Babooshka' - Kate Bush

And another! (Don't know what was in that last cuppa...)



'Killing Me Softly' - Roberta Flack

#33 - Deebee - without spoiling 'Born to Run', all I can say is that most Michael Morpurgo books generally give way to feelings in the reader from all parts of the emotional spectrum and this is no exception (Gill W - would you agree?!)



#42 - Amelia* - thanks - see above, 'Alone on a Wide Wide Sea' is the same!

#47 NTNadine - you caould also add



CLOUDBUSTING by the same said amazing Ms Bush.



I was going to suggest



THE RIDDLE - NICK KERSHAW



If I'm not too late. I'm still recovering after my first ever session of marshalling a Rally and what a Rally it was - the Roger Albert Clark (R.A.C.) Rally in Dalby Forest. Can I also wish everyone up there a safe day as the weather is getting worse here in Horsforth.

Oh I meant to say well done to Zoe for her double mention on Wittertainment. You made the doctors giggle!

#40 Extra-Value- Bingo- Star-Er . I think your song reference 'Mark Knoppfleler - Jeremaih Dixon!!!!!!!!' relates to:-



FLYING TO PHILADELPHIA - MARK KNOPFLER AND JAMES TAYLOR

Not sure if this one will get played:



Uncle Remus - Frank Zappa

Thanks for the Bellowhead info, Amelia - I'll buy one and if it goes down well, there will be birthdays to buy for!



JW

hi all



american pie-don mcclean



fantasy-earth,wind and fire

Billie asked for ideas for a slow cooker and I posted it yesterday and don't know if she saw it so here tis again.....



https://www.bbc.co.uk/food/recipes/lambneckfillettagine_91764



I left out the pomegranate molasses, saffron, apricots, almonds and fresh coriander purely because I didn't have any and I added a couple of waxy potatoes which I cut up in small chunks and cooked it in the slow cooker for about 6 hours and served it with rice.



Delicious it was too!



JW

OOh, I also meant to add...



Amelia, what a truly stunning photo from yesterday. Beautiful :)

#49, Hoffs. Oh absolutly !

Can highly recommend the books. Dont worry Deebee, the protagonist in the story tends to remain intacked. Cant vouch for all those around him though.

Hubbs has just raised his head from the laptop and suggested THE LAND OF MAKE BELEIVE - BUCKS FIZZ. Should I show him the door?

~gill~

#42 Amelia, I have just had a listen to your clip of Bell X1 and it sounds really nice and I have never come across the name before, not even on Janice Long's radio programme and she's well known for introducing new, unknown acts on her shows.

Grr - haven't blogged for ages and today am having annoying computer problems (always blame it on the tools, never user error.....)



Amelia, the * was to say (*waves wildly) at the end of the post. We too are eagerly awaiting 'Itch Rocks' - also appeared on Master Hoffs' Chr***mas list (had to explain that it might have to be a very very late present!)



On the subject of Chr***tmas, anyone else having stressful times planning?

Given how much I have gone on about it, maybe I should suggest:



BORN TO RUN - BRUCE SPRINGSTEEN



(gets coat)

My work 'puter has been playing up today and IT Mafia was called for. I had everything crossed when they took over my machine remotely that they wouldn't hit upon this blog.



#42 Amelia, my wee Jimmy loves apples too!



I started reading The Hunger Games but didn't like all the killing of animals so didn't read on. Just bought Sue Townsend's The Woman Who Went to Bed for a Year so hoping for a bit of a giggle with that.



Roll on March 2013 and Itch Rocks!!



Out in the field all afternoon so catch you later. X

Feels like heaven by Fiction Factory

THE NIGHT THEY DROVE OLD DIXIE DOWN ~ Joan Baez



JACKIE ~ Scott Walker



LYING EYES ~ The Eagles

My favorite song that tells a story... The Killing Of Georgie by Rod Stewart xXx

Hi remember me?



You all seem to currently be well-ish-I have been looking! and thought I'd chance logging in to say Hello (Shona I too have IT Police who's latest trick is block anything remotely useful!).



I even have a couple of suggestions:



The Story of the Blues-The Mighty Wah

Never ending story-Limahl

Word Girl-Scritti Politti

The Riddle-Nik Kershaw

Loves Great Adventure-Ultravox



Must go as work to do.



Lots of Love



Mrs B xx

BEE GEES - JIVE TOLKIEN

ALTHEA AND DONNA - UPTOWN TOP RANKIN

Hiya Mrs B :)



Of course we remember you....confounded IT police!

Hello Mrs Boris - I was thinking the other day that I must say Hello, as you said you lurked when you could..............so...............



HELLO



And hello to other lurking bloggers who don't get the chance to pop in for what ever reason...

Katy, AlexGirl, Harry, CoffeeBuzz and any others --- we miss you!



Does anyone hear from them in another place?



JW

I think we should be ok for a Christmas hat or two Jennie :)

#57 Sal - thank you, down to the sunning weather rather than my photographic skills - off to the same place again now although I am likely to come home soggy.



#59 Flo - they are Irish and have been around since 1999; I first saw them in Leeds years ago so it must have been a recommendation from an Irish online friend so I cant think how I wouldn't have heard of them otherwise. They have achieved some success in the US as one of their songs was played on some teen-drama over there.



#60 Hoffs - *waves frantically back*



#62 Shona - yes there is a fair bit of animal killing in the Hunger Games but if you can get beyond that the books are superb, although a disturbing read. I have to read Island of Wings by Karin Altenberg as it is our bookclub choice. Story about a minister on St Kilda in the 1830’s. The chooser usually chooses good books so looking forward to it.



#71 Jennie - I spoke to Alex Girl when she called CiN, she was lovely.

Glad to hear the girls are ok! Now, come on fellas, let us know about you!



JW

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NnuYhFRYbAw

#71 Great idea...



HELLO LURKERS!



:o)



I am in touch with KatyMac and AlexGirl 'elsewhere' - both are fine but busy with work. Katy hopes to be back amoung us in time for Christmas, and hopefully Alex will be able to pop in as well. It would be lovely to see other erstwhile bloggers too - maybe we should throw a blog Christmas party and see who turns up.



#73 Amelia, I have met Alex a few times in 'real life' and she is indeed lovely!



~X~

Two more.



One Piece at a Time - Johnny Cash



Galway to Graceland - Seán Keane (or Richard Thompson.)

I would have thought that a Christmas blog party was a given, Deebee - we don't need much of an excuse do we?!



;0)

I'm not sure whether i'm taking this too literally or not literally enough, but here's my ha'penorth.



To cut a long story short - Spandau Ballet

Neverending Story - Limahl

Winter's Tale - David Essex

Story of the Blues - Might Wah!

Tale as old as time - Beauty and The Beast



luv

em6

#78 Absolutely Jennie! We just need to set a date - when is good for everybody?



Last year we all gave ourselves festive blognames for the week leading up to Christmas. I got a couple of menshes as Santa's Little Helper, so I may go with that again, unless I come up with something new in the mean time.



*starting to get a bit excited*



;o)

CLIFF RICHARD - AMIS YOU NIGHTS

EDWIN STARR - WAUGH

Ooohhh so am I Deebee. I can't remember my Christmas name - will have to look back.



Any date will do me - I can fit in with most dates



JW

PAUL McCARTNEY AND MICHAEL JACKSON - SAY, SAY, SAYERS

#83 Friday 21st December seems like a good date. That will be the Christmas ARF, and I'm guessing Simon and the team's last day before the hols. And I know KatyMac should be around by then.



~X~

BARRY WHITE - YOU'RE THE FURST, THE LAST, MY EVERYTHING

I think that qualifies you as fairly regular now Andrew ;)



Jennie, unless you can find a post, where someone calls you by your Christmas name, it will only appear as it is now when you click back if that makes any sense.



I'm not here, I'm painting....

Afternoon all



OK Story teller oldies



Flight of Icarus - Iron Maiden (story is in the title - bit obscure)

ballad of bodmin pill - new model army

story of the blues - mighty wah





Unlikely the first 2 will even get mentioned, bit osbcure. I'm sure i'll think of some more

DURAN DURAN - HUNGRY LIKE THE WOLFE

romeo & juliet - dire straits

Very literate, Andrew!



#87 - I know, Sal - I'll have to have a quick read through and see if I can spot my name - I've got on idea it had 'jingles' somewhere in it.



I've just pulled the curtains and there are some outdoor lights up already, over the way :0/



21st Dec sounds ok to me, Deebee



JW

I wonder whether Simon managed to come up with a dedication for his book? Maybe Michael Morpurgo could give him some pointers?

#73 Amelia,if you like Irish bands, I wonder if like me, you're fan of The Saw Doctors, whom I'm going to see on Friday night in Edinburgh? They always have a good time on stage, and have a great following of loyal supporters!



https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P9HSgwZFeLE

Does Mr Mayo look here for ideas for Homework Sucks? Or perhaps someone here knows the answer...



In the opening Mr M talks about pressing 'send' on book 2. How long does it take from pressing 'send' to the book appearing in the bookshops? Presumably there's an editing process, a printing process etc. How long does it all take?



Just idle curiosity, really.



Thanks

Hi Simon and Everyone!



I've been very busy on this dreary Monday. Just back from seeing the orthopedist - who did a x-ray and a big fat corticosteroid injection in my left shoulder that has not been able to unfreeze since surgery. Fingers crossed, this should do the trick and be able to raise my left arm all the way up.

Time to shift gears as a man called husband just walked in the door and I need to get meatless Monday dinner going. Looking forward to the MM interview.



LB, x

Well done Mandy and Zoe for having your songs played.



Lilac Blue, I hope your shoulder improves after having it injected.



x

Is it going to be another 'tickled' moment?

Well done for the menshes tonight. Only heard part of the show as the good step son is here and much chatting and feeding was had.



21st December sounds like a plan and I think my festive name was Sherry Trifle last year. When will we change our names?



Won't see you tomorrow for a choon chase as I'm out in the field all day. Darn this pesky work nonense;(



Have nice evenings one and all and *waves* hello Mrs Boris!!

Well done Mandy, Zoe and Tickled Lurker for the menshes! An observation - there seem to be a lot fewer names being read out lately. I'm guessing there is a different NYM/W collating the suggestions. It tends to be one person from each of the blog, FB and Twitter, or sometimes only one person altogether named as suggesting an oldie. A pity, when we've all made such an effort... Ho hum, as I've said before - it's just a bit of fun...



Very interesting interview with Michael Morpurgo. What a fascinating and talented man! I'll be adding him to my reading list.



~X~

Now, you see. If we'd had Steve Hackett on tonight, instead of tomorrow, we could''ve had "Tales Of The Riverbank". Lovely! Perhaps tomorrow, anyway.
