The story so far:
Berend, a fan from Amsterdam, wanted to find a hi-fi recording of Sometimes, the rare 1984 vinyl single that has never been put on CD
Two fans from the UK kindly offered help
What happened next:
Then another fan, my friend Rien also from Holland, made a generous gift of his spare copy of the single to Berend
So they have gone Dutch! Mission accomplished
*************************************************************************************
Berend sent this message:
“Wow, what a surprise, Peggy! Your support of my request on the DSB blog site! Thank you very much. I owe you!
Regards from Amsterdam, Berend”
…You don’t owe me anything, that’s what this blog is for!

Top of page: a crop I made, which is a great portrait in itself
So good I pasted it twice
Now we’ll have to figure out a way to put a good quality recording on the www without breaking the rules on copyright
This exquisite song is too good to miss. Any ideas, anyone?

“Shirley’s fighting to get in to see Eartha Kitt in London this week”
Scoop news … courtesy of Peter who kindly sent me this link to a story published on WHAT’S ON STAGE, a top web site for theatregoers
“Hello Peggy,
Hope all is well with you (and a belated Happy Birthday).
I’m sure you’ll have seen this, but just in case.
Click here for What’s On Stage – Eartha Kitt
There are some quite good vids of Eartha on YouTube – including a rendition of ‘Here’s to Life’ so it would seem DSB is still singing songs Eartha has sung!
All the best, Peter.”

Thanks Peter. Dame Shirley is currently in London – I wonder if she’s in the recording studio? Or planning a tour? Let’s hope so!
