Should be a good night.

What's more important is the way the combination flows.

Gordon and Peter ?
Johnny Dyer and Vicki Swan ?
Costello and Abbott?
Hardy and Laurel?
Sweep and Sooty?

And I don't think it's just what we are used to.
If the first name ends with a descending sound this leads naturally to the joining "and".
Also the change from "and" to the second name sometimes flows, sometimes not.
Back to the case in point, although I have probably known Kitty longer than Derek, now they are firmly Derek and Kitty.
They sound just as good either way round mind.

Sorry about the rambling, I'm bored.

On the CD, we are Kitty and Derek, because in the photo on the cover page I'm on the left and Derek is on the right ...

Looking forward to 26 November.

When you say "old" friends........are you referring to me by any chance?

"It should be 'Ladies first' - hope you have a great night "

Just as a general observtn - that is so, except for married·couples/partners, where husband's/male's name often comes first - from the King & Queen to Fred & Betty Jones. I used to like to refer to, sign, and so on, my late wife & me as 'Valerie & Michael' on above principle; but most of our friends would go on saying, & addressing Xmas cards &c, 'Michael & Valerie'.

Twill be a great evening. Fun and good singing.

I have no control over the weather, the forecasters have little clue, but I will cross everything I have two of.

See you soon Kitty. Just off out to buy some battenburg.
