When aah wez a lad, me Da' used te lissen te his programme on the wireless coz he wez in love wi' Lita Rosa - Edmundo's singer (and, I believe, girlfriend) - So aah also fell in love wi' her an' aall! Aboot ten years ago aah wez working in Customer services forra bank and a lady called up - Aah cannit remember her real name but it also cum up on screen as 'Also known as Lita Rosa'. It was her! - Aah telt her aall aboot me and me Da' - we chatted for ower half an 'oor aboot her and Edmundo Ros and she wez lovely. Sadly she passed away aboot three years ago but aah still remember the latino beat of Edmundo's orchestra AND her lovely seductive tones (Aah must've been aboot six so she wez prob'ly me first real love interest - after me Mam!) RIP Edmundo! Say 'Hi' to Bert Jansch and Dave Totterdell forruz!
