January 22, 200916 yr Thanks Spam. Just realised that Nina's notepad doesn't have speakers. Cyrus is a month older than our 13 yr old and she's taller than my Mum. they just seem to shoot up at this age. my son was 6ft by 13.
January 24, 200916 yr It looks like Darius didn't stay in the UK for long!!!! There are pictures over on Natasha's site of her arriving at a function on Tuesday, 20/1 and it certainly looks to me that Darius is driving the car!!! He must get exhausted!! Julie
January 25, 200916 yr Lyrics for the modern Caledonia Caledonia Dougie MacLean I don't know if you can see The changes that have come over me In these last few days I've been afraid That I might drift away So I've been telling old stories, singing songs That make me think about where I came from And that's the reason why I seem So far away today Oh, but let me tell you that I love you That I think about you all the time Caledonia you're calling me And now I'm going home If I should become a stranger You know that it would make me more than sad Caledonia's been everything I've ever had Now I have moved and I've kept on moving Proved the points that I needed proving Lost the friends that I needed losing Found others on the way I have kissed the ladies and left them crying Stolen dreams, yes there's no denying I have traveled hard with coattails flying Somewhere in the wind (Chorus) Now I'm sitting here before the fire The empty room, the forest choir The flames that could not get any higher They've withered now they've gone But I'm steady thinking my way is clear And I know what I will do tomorrow When the hands are shaken and the kisses flow Then I will disappear © 1982 Plant Life Music Ltd This is what he sang................worth the wait :D
January 25, 200916 yr It was lovely to hear him again, especially singing Caledonia, and to hear the brilliant reception he received. It was touching as well to hear him talking about how he feels when he goes home to Scotland. Well worth the wait from 7 o'clock. Hope Rachel can put it on her site for those who were not able to listen. Sue
January 25, 200916 yr He actually sang 2 but I couldn't tell you what the first was....something kiss Introduced as 'a young man from this part of the world who's already made it to the top in music and acting and based now in California and he has flown in specially to be with us tonight' Edited January 25, 200916 yr by SpamFritter
January 25, 200916 yr The first song was Ae Fond Kiss - I'm just sorting the recording now, hopefully I can get them on the site tomorrow.
January 25, 200916 yr Thanks, Delphi. I'll look forward to that. Ae Fond Kiss by Robert Burns Ae fond kiss, and then we sever Ae fareweel, and then forever Deep in heart-wrung tears I'll pledge thee, Warring sighs and groans I'll wage thee. Who shall say that Fortune grieves him, While the star of hope she leaves him Me nae cheerful twinkle lights me, Dark despair around benights me. I'll ne'er blame my partial fancy: Naething could resist my Nancy But to see her was to love her Love but her, and love for ever. Had we never loe'd sae kindly, Had we never loe'd sae blindly, Never met - nor never parted - We had ne'er been broken-hearted. Fare thee weel, thou first and fairest Fare thee weel, thou best and dearest Thine be ilka joy and treasure, Peace, Enjoyment, Love and Pleasure Ae fond kiss, and then we sever Ae fareweel, alas, for ever Deep in heart-wrung tears I'll pledge thee, Warring sighs and groans I'll wage thee.

Julie It was a Hollywood knees-up for Barack Obama's inauguration. It's tough the Burns Night was on the 19th but I can well understand why Darius went back to be with Natasha at this event instead of flying to London to work on his album.

January 26, 200916 yr It's on the radio menu on .net Thanks, delphi. :D - The Star o' Rabbie Burns This song (words by James Thomson and music by James Booth) is frequently sung at the Burns Suppers around the world at the end of January each year which celebrate the life and works of Robert Burns. The Star o' Rabbie Burns There is a star whose beaming ray Is shed on ev'ry clime. It shines by night, it shines by day And ne'er grows dim wi' time. It rose upon the banks of Ayr, It shone on Doon's clear stream - A hundred years are gane and mair, Yet brighter grows its beam. Chorus Let kings and courtiers rise and fa', This world has mony turns But brightly beams aboon them a' The star o' Rabbie Burns. Though he was but a ploughman lad And wore the hodden grey, Auld Scotland's sweetest bard was bred Aneath a roof o'strae. To sweep the strings o'Scotia's lyre, It needs nae classic lore; It's mither wit an native fire That warms the bosom's core. Chorus On fame's emblazon'd page enshrin'd His name is foremost now, And many a costly wreath's been twin'd To grace his honest brow. And Scotland's heart expands wi' joy Whene'er the day returns That gave the world its peasant boy Immortal Rabbie Burns. Brings back memories for me. This song was my neighbour's New Year party piece. He used to sing it every year, after Auld Lang Syne.
