It's 9.35 pm & it's my first visit of the day to the newsgroups, &
apart from here, nothing much seems to be happening anywhere.
It's been such a gorgeous day, wall-to-wall sunshine, no wind &
deliciously warm, so I spent the day almost till sun-down at my little
beach hut. The local kids are on half-term so there was plenty of
activity to watch. But I mention this largely because of the surprise
I got when I popped in here &, while my "supper" was cooking, started
downloading your organ pieces from the bottom up. So you can imagine
how I laughed when the 1st track I played, No.22 was.................
"Oh I do love to be beside the seaside...." LOL.
And there was the 1930's cinema organ, playing wurlitzer-style from
the "pit" in front of the big screen......remember those days! Never
missed the Saturday morning matinees, me & me brothers, watching Buck
Jones et al, & shouting out "Watch out, he's behind the door!" when
our white-hatted hero burst into some baddie's den!
I think the entrance price was 3d, thrupence. But for the adult,
afternoon films, I would invariably approach a likely-looking bloke in
the queue outside with "Please, sir. Will you take me in?" I must have
been an enchanting little London urchin, for it always worked, & of
course, the bloke paid for my ticket as well.
Then came the War, the Blackout, the nightly air-raids......& the
golden summers were over.
Thanks for these "blue hills remembered".
