Nice one H,

I don't recall Ralph playing guitar without a thumb pick before.

This dream I have that keeps me hanging on
When our letters get crossed in the mails
Is to wake up at home in the house on the shore
With you by my side in Wales

Thanks  Wink

Well, I think he often plays without one  Huh
Maybe it depends on the state of his thumb nail.

Anyway this was playback, so he didn't need to play for real  Cheesy

Is this yet another TOTP version of SoL ?   Huh

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aQTLM-2nyiA

I seem to recall that he was wearing a different shirt(s) in
the TOTP version(s), I have seen before.

Is it just me ? Or ? ...  Confused here ... Shocked

Mmmm.....?! Indeed. TOTP2 did show Ralph singing/playing SoL wearing a darker blue patterned shirt. Ok, so where are the shirt detectives?  Cheesy

AHA ! Thought so  Cool

Well, actually I think this is a case for the special TAW agents, Joanna ...  you know those with a license to thrill ...


Meanwhile the rest of you can enjoy this rather peculiar Ralph cover  Roll Eyes Grin Cheesy

http://www.youtube.com:80/watch?v=Ahxhj3aSbps

It seems those "spare Danes" up North over there have their very own and very peculiar interpretation of Ralph's work -
very interesting and hilarious to listen to. I can imagine other of Ralph songs being exposed to this treatment ...
anyone want to have a go at that ?
 
No, I am fortunately excused for obvious reasons - and that would be really silly and most embarrassing LOL

H.

PS. "indeed" ? hmmm, now, where did I hear that word before ?  Wink

Wondering if this is the advertising song that Ralph made for Skol beer in
the late 80's ?

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gK7n1Q-fDeA

It does have that certain "je ne sais Ralph", doesn't it ?  Roll Eyes

H.

PS. Anyone knows what the real song sounds like ?
Is it on YouTube ?

I have it as a 45rpm.  It's called The Winner's Song.  Don't know if it's on Boob Tube.

Wow, great :-)

Hmmm, probably not - will look around for it.

If not, thou will have to bring thy ould grammophone down from the loft
and start transfering this 45 rpm treasure to mp3 or similar format, Marianne  Grin

Did you already have the "Wind in the Willows" clips btw. ?
I had completely forgotten to look for that series until now.

I have a VHS tape of the winter programmes that someone bought me years ago, just for the fact that Ralph sings for a few seconds at the beginning and end. Grin

The WITW theme tune is on the R A & S site on this page, but not the piccies - so thanks for that H.  Cheesy

(Incidentally, 2 more installments of John B's interview with Ralph are also now on that site, on the 'Multimedia' menu, under 'Telling Tales'.)

Thanks, Naomi - had only just noticed myself that there are new exciting tales
waiting to be read Roll Eyes

Yes, I had noticed that old, scratchy recording of the Wind in the Willows -
wonderful tune and song.

HINT  You may also want to check out the very intesting link at the top of this page :

Don't think it has been there all along, has it ?

Enjoy - I did ! Cool

Aha ?!  Interesting - would be fun to watch and hear sometime Roll Eyes

But "Winner's /Winter's Song" was a whole song - not just a short jingle? - ,
so that it was act. one side of a single ?
