I was just thinking that. Although Billie Jean is one of those songs that can survive practically anything that's thrown at it (as is currently being proved. :))

Just laughing at my friends' son's latest video. His band (Scholars) have been doing quite well, but they are clearly bonkers! :lol: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1ILnzErCA7c

This Swedish folk group were worth going to see. Have a listen. I've never heard anything quite like them!

This is what one of my niece's best friends has been up to (certainly different!) I really quite liked the song "Accident of Birth". It's followed by the football chant versions, that they are a very "Minnie Birch. " :D

Well, don't know if you'd call it real music, but here's what my husband has been up to between lockdowns, if anyone's interested! If you hate Steeley Dan, Look away! :lol: https://www.facebook.com/stanleydeeband ... 7582952103

I just hope that someone remembered to untie Cavan... :lol:

Not sure why I'm posting this, but I thought it was an amusing story. I was speaking to a friend the other day, who (years ago!) had a band called The Joe Concorde band https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P2qvWoayLuM which he formed when living in Sheffield. He made a limited release demo recording, with only 50 copies. His Mum worked with another lady whose son had also produced a limited release (50) demo recording of a song. So they decided to swap their copies so that each could hear the other ones son's song.

Well, I'm sure you've all heard of the very famous (!) Joe Concorde band? As you can imagine, his limited release (and never followed up) recording is worth, um...nothing at all.

On the other hand, Joe's mum has in her possession a limited release original copy of a recording by Def Leppard, one of the world's best-selling music artists, who have sold more than 100 million records worldwide. :lol: :lol:
