The Sixties
'This is MY chair'
Some of my favourite Sixties songs

This isn't a comprehensive list, simply some of the more memorable.

Early influences were Ken Griffin's Organ Favorites (33 rpm LP 10" record) including "In an Eighteenth Century Drawing Room" by Raymond Scott. And 78 rpm (10") records; 'This Old House' by Rosemary Clooney, ' The Story of My Life' by Michael Holliday and a German version of 'The Happy Wanderer'.
