Summary: The song I have sent you this week answers a simple question…”Who discovered America?”….you’re thinking Columbus…WRONG!!..it was Prince Madoc in 1170…300 years before Columbus….this song sung by my mate Paul Damian tells the story….after depressing you last week with Beddgelert this should give you a lift…the song is off the same album I composed and produced for Paul…I love this song…and there is no-one in the world could sing it better….the album is available from my website….www.donwoods.co.uk 2.Did you know that William and Kate have had a baby girl?...if you didn’t know you must have been asleep for the last week….sadly the only break from this on the news was the election run up…talk about no news….SURELY there must be something else going on in the world….suddenly all these “royal correspondents” come out of the woodwork grovelling away saying how wonderful it all is….oh we are so lucky to have such a royal family who care so much about their subjects….I don’t think. 3.It’s finally over and Dave goes back into number 10……personally I couldn’t see any other result….no matter what anyone says it’s about personalities and I’m afraid Ed didn’t have any despite his many lessons on how to present himself….if you aint got it …you aint got it….and as for Ed Balls he wont be missed….I think it would have been a different story if David Miliband had been in the mix. I thought there were two main turning points….Cameron’s plugging of “the mess” Labour left him with last time…and how they cleaned it up…great angle I thought…and Ed involving that idiot Russell Brand…big mistake….all Dave has to do now is get rid of Gove and he’s cracked it...so perhaps now we’ll get a bit of decent TV…probably not. 4.There have been a lot of celebrations regarding the anniversary of VE Day….although somewhat overshadowed by the elections….it is great to see old film of the dancing in the streets etc….great stuff…one of the best gigs I ever did was a VE Day fancy dress do at a local restaurant a while back…everyone entered into the spirit and I sang all the songs from the time “There’ll always be an England…..”…etc…it was really good fun and as the place was packed out the guy who had a parachute on his back wasn’t too popular….a real good laugh. 5.There is a move afoot to get people to vote for a national bird…apparently we haven’t got one…so some bloke is driving around with a loudspeaker on the top of his car asking people to vote…the robin is one of the favourites (which would get my vote)…the barn owl is another…..but if it was up to me our national bird would be Katherine Jenkins….LUVLY!!
