Read More The Church And The State – Educating Christopher’s ChildrenI’m a big sucker for Ron Kenoly. His singing business comes across like a genial father figure and that’s good. I like that.

Read More Building Life Around JesusLast night I was watching Family Fortunes. As I’ve said before FF was at its best when Bob Monkhouse was the host and the ones I recorded were in the days after Bob when Les Dennis hosted the show.
