#BIRTHDAY: Mørland from Norway is 41 today I’ve picked a duet today. Don’t you just love them? This duettist wrote the song as well as duetted with Joanna Bussinger. But more of her later. The song is about doing something bad in your past. We’ve all done it, […]
#BIRTHDAY: Romina Power from Italy is 70 today You can’t beat a nice little greeting to get you in a good mood. And today’s song is three minutes of good mood. In fact, if you were to watch the contest this song came from, you’d have about two […]
