Two Performances by The Diamonds, 47 years apart
If you were alive in 1957, and old enough to enjoy Rock and Roll, you will probably remember the group, "The Diamonds" who had just launched their super hit "Little Darlin' ".
In 1957, The Diamonds had a hit with "Little Darlin". 47 years later, they were requested to perform at Atlantic City ...
This link leads to both performances.
Watch the first one then scroll down for the new one 47 years later.
Oh what a great blast from the past LLL, I can certainly remember the song even though I was just a young lad. That style of singing has always been one of my favourites and I just love all the 50’s 60’s & 70’s music. To be honest as most of you know I like all kinds of music, so hate to burst the bubble on what would be a great story.
The Diamonds were a Canadian group and the lead singer on ‘Little Darlin’ was Dave Somerville who later left the group, but now sings with them again. Tom Hanks dad is Amos Mefford Hanks and was from California, so sorry the myth is busted, ……………….. loved the songs thought and thanks for posting.

Back in the day many bananas had quite large seeds, I still remember eating them with large black seeds in the centre, but as you say modern cultivars cannot reproduce that way.
I came across this puzzle painted on a 17th century jug, while watching an antiques program (to which I am addicted :lol: ) yesterday.

Totally agree, did you see the recent one when JP who hadn't been doing very well bought and sold at a loss a small table. Next day, at first shop, there was the table at an even higher price!
I adopted a new slogan today My weakness is my strength in another post. After thinking about it for a while it sounded too familiar to be my own. thanks to Google I discovered this:-
