Sabrina's songs

These are my two favourite songs to sing to Sabrina.
Tallulah from Bugsy Malone (with Tallulah replaced by Sabrina):


and the other is a country number by Charlie Rich

... the siren lure of twitter has finally sucked me in. it's montana poetry day and it's like writing a bastard haiku ...

Twitter's just like having fun with your facebook status really. Will see if it takes.

Musically - I'm in love. With Dan Black and Johnny West. Different sounds, but both with an uncanny way with lyrics.
