Father, I’m Sorry

Last week’s Golden Discs voucher giveaway was a disaster.

The winning song should have ran last Sunday, Father’s Day.

Bodger slipped up massively. He is very sorry.

The winner of the โ‚ฌ25 Golden Discs voucher in last week’s competition is Stephen F, who penned for his dad the following.

For Fathering Sunday, please give the Golden Discs voucher to my father Robin and play him โ€˜A Whiter Shade Of Paleโ€™ by Procol Harum while youโ€™re at it. It is his favourite song from the 60โ€™s and remind our family of trips to France on the ferry from Rosslare when we were young, listening to โ€˜Our Generationโ€™, on a 4 tape 60โ€™s compilation my parents bought over the phone long before online record shops were even a thing, as we travelled further south through France…

Bubblin’ under:

Bertie Blenkinsop: “For Fatherโ€™s Day please play โ€œMy Old Manโ€ by Ian Dury & The Blockheads as itโ€™s a gorgeous, heartwarming tune that says the things you wouldnโ€™t have the nerve to say to your Da.”

Starina: “For Fathering Sunday, please give the Golden Discs voucher to my father John and play him Johnny Cashโ€™s ‘Folsom Prison Blues‘ cos when we were driving through Folsom a couple years ago he wouldnโ€™t let me play the song in the car because ‘I wonโ€™t have country and western in my truck!’.”

Me Myself I: “For Fathering Sunday, please give the Golden Discs voucher to my father Tom and play him โ€˜Madonna โ€“ Papa Donโ€™t Preachโ€™ while youโ€™re at it because Iโ€™m male and gay so it would confuse the hell out of him (the keeping the baby part, not the being gay and playing a Madonna song, thatโ€™s fairly standard!)”

Thanks all

      To answer your question Rory, ( and thanks for your kind words ) I used to do a song a day thing on another site funnily enough but I gave it up by popular demand.

        I’d be interested in viewing the website if you felt comfortable divulging the name of it. If not tis no biggie.
