It always amazes me how music sometimes manages to trigger off a long forgotten memory. Well today while out last minute Holiday shopping the tune of The Twelve Days Of Christmas worked its way into my head. When suddenly I remembered a television programme of my youth – The Lucy Show. This was the episode when she conducted a boys choir giving their rendition of the very same song. As the boys sang she did all of the actions “swans swimming”, “maids milking” etcetera. It must have made this five year old child laugh, as it still makes me smile today. To see if I remembered correctly I checked out the clip on You Tube and was surprised to see it was in colour. Back in 1965 when it first aired we had a big old black and white television with only two channels BBC and ITV. It is nice when a memory like that resurfaces, before the Christmas present bubbles back.
