Andy Williams Dies, Aged 84

andy_williamsSad to see this on a newsflash this afternoon. Singing legend, Andy Williams, has died at the age of 84 after a battle with cancer.

I didn’t realise that he provided backing vocals for Bing Crosby’s Swingin’ on a Star – which dates from as far back as 1944! Blimey, that’s not long after my dad was born!

It’s funny that I know a lot of these old songs and artistes, which date from way before my birth. I remember listening to them on the radio when I was young. But when I talk to pupils on lessons, many these days don’t seem to know anything from before they were born.

It’s all a bit sad, really.
