She said she loves England because we stuck with her when the US 'kicked her to the kerb'. It must be great for a 70 year old lady from Alabama to come over and see the reaction to 'You got the love'. It is my favourite house record of all time. No wonder she loves it here.
Anyway, absolutely tremendous, will definitely go and see her again.
Might get one of the tables upstairs for Jocelyn Brown in October..... |
