Bring us sunshine


A couple of days ago it would have been Eric Morecambe's 100th birthday.

I can't give you any details about these children, other than they obviously love singing.

Just look at that little boy at the back on the right; he's having the time of his life!.

If this doesn't make you happy; I don't know what would.

Indeed, children's voices are always joyful.

It's such a good song too. Very evocative for the English.

How sweet.

Eric Morecambe and David Attenborough were very close to each other in age. Maybe they should have swapped jobs. Eric's commentary as wild animals mated would have been phenomenal and David's stage routine with Yorkshireman Ernie Wise would have taken the biscuit.

Fabulous. That little boy at the back, that's the sort of thing my grandson would do!

Eric lived in Harpenden , and was often out and about in the town. In the early 80s I was walking across the green and he was coming towards me. No one else in the vicinity......I looked up at him as we passed and nodded and smiled and he did the same....a lovely memory. I also spent half an hour with his wife, Joan, at a kids football match. She was president of the Colts and had arrived to " show her face" but the organisers said hello when she arrived and then left her on her own. I had met her briefly at a friend's house a few weeks before so went to keep her company as we walked around. Lovely lady. (Used to see her in Waitrose too)

They're really enjoying themselves.

I'm sure AI could fix it for you. It could be an online sensation.

Cro Magnon said...

I was like that too, at that age.

Cro Magnon said...

He died very young; at 58 I think. He was a very special man, never to be replaced.

I didn't catch what theyre singing but I didn't have to. What joy and energy. Delightful

Cro Magnon said...

'Bring me Sunshine' was the theme tune to the Morecambe and Wise TV show. It's quite a special song here in the UK.

Our Old English Sheepdog gave birth to her puppies on the day Eric died. One of the puppies (a girl) was named Eric by her adopted parents.

That's nice. We have friends in France who've always had OES's. Lovely dogs.

I cannot stand the sound of children singing - unless they are choristers and I suspect the kids in that video are not.

Poppypatchwork said...

We saw them on TV, made us all smile.

Cro Magnon said...

They are certainly not. I think that makes it all the more fun.

Cro Magnon said...

These children? I didn't know they were famous. I just came across the video by chance!

Kathe said...

Thank you.

Cro Magnon said...

My pleasure!
