FRIDAY FAVOURITES No 17

I threatened I would include a lot of Roger Whittaker singing as I can sit and listen to him for hours.  I actually only discovered him a few years back and yet I remember hearing "Wind Beneath my Wings" when it came out (he was the first person to sing it) but didn't take any notice of the name of the singer.

On YouTube this time I have found him singing a song he wrote and I think his rendition first class.  The person who put this on YouTube has added pictures in "tune" with the words and I think he/she has done an excellent job.   The song is "Why" and I feel with the world's climate going rather haywire it is quite appropriate. I hope you will enjoy it as much as I do.

      Glad you enjoyed it Yam.
      Re VW. They deserve all they get for this fraud. Australians still waiting to see if their vehicles are affected. Good to see the VW boss resign and so he should. xx

    I couldn't watch it, it took forever to get started then wouldn't progress past 10 seconds.
    I'll try again tomorrow.

      Sorry it didn't work for you and hopefully if you try again it will come good. It is a beautiful song.

    That's beautiful and sad and probably more true than we realise.

      Am so pleased you were able to listen to it second time around.
      It is very beautiful and sad too and I feel Roger had qualms about the future of our planet when he wrote that song.
