Subject: RE: Poetry - Shipping Forecast at 100
Apparently Dave Paskett's song was "The Sipping Forecast" which is all about drinking. This was mentioned in another Mudcat thread, here:

Dave Paskett & 'Raglan'

In that thread, as recently as 2010, Phil Beer also mentions that Paul Downes regularly includes Dave Paskett's more famous "I Could Not Take My Eyes Off Her" in his sets, and the next poster says it is on Paul's first or second album. As it happens, I had Paul's album "Life Goes On", which I think was his first, on vinyl, and still have the digitisation I made of it before giving it to a charity shop, and the song is not on that, so I reckon it must have been on Paul's second album.

Notwithstanding Dave very successful principal career as an artist, I find it a little sad that there is absolutely nothing on his website, that I could find, about his musical career ... it's not as though his songs were anything to be ashamed off, quite the contrary IMO:
