This Is Her Song
March 17th, 2008
Tickets for Petula Clark’s appearance on Mother’s Day at Mohegan Sun in Connecticut, a mere 80 miles from here, go on sale today at 10am.
P.S. I have my tickets! Ordered them online, and I have a link that lets me print them myself. Also, our man in Scotland, Dave, reports the following has been posted by the British government at this link.
Read the Government’s response
Thank you for your e-petition.
Petula Clark’s achievements in music are well known and respected. It is easy to see why so many people want to see her record formally recognised. This is underlined by the fact over a thousand people have signed the e-petition on the No 10 website calling for her to be made a Dame. Your support has been carefully noted.
This is only acknowledgment that the PET-ition has been noted, not that it is being acting upon. The whole concept of petitioning the UK gov’t online is new, so there’s no way of knowing if this is the standard response. I would point out, however, that there’s no mention of Pet being such a trouper for the troops during WWII. My feeling is her contributions to morale during the war in and of themselves warrant the title of Dame. And of course she’s had such a wonderful career ever since then!

What, you had Carol standing out in the bitter cold in the middle of the night so she could get a Wii for Eric? Why aren’t you taking the day off so you could be first in line to get the best seats? Douglas Edward Pratt, where have your priorities gone? Oh, yeah, you can buy tickets on line.

I didn’t make Carol stand out there! She did it herself. I also had one failed attempt in the frigid cold at acquiring a Wii. We went together for the final, successful attempt at procurement, on a cold Sunday morning last year in January.

Testing! I was joshing about making Carol go; she has a lot more patience than Tom or I would have. He won’t let Molly NEAR any computer games, etc. In fact, we have “Nannygate” on both computers. She has to ask to get on-line, and I’ve never known her to sneak. She LOVES DogRat, of course.

Petula will be signing stuff at Spin Street right after the show…
Best go meet her then Doug and ask her if she’ll sing “Sweet Swiss Valley” and “I Will Follow Him ” for me in Croydon a few weeks later…..
Only joking. Hope you have a great time .
