Your Friday prompt for Stream of Consciousness Saturday is “start with who/whom” Begin your post with either “who” or “whom” and go from there. Have fun!
Who do I think of when I think back to my pre-teen days when all my brothers and sisters where all alive and at home. Who was who back then, Teresa Mary, Mary Anne, Frances Jane, Anthony Conrad, John Patrick and me , there had been three more but I never knew them and of course there was Mum and Dad.
Music played a huge part in my young life, in all our lives but I was the youngest and the one who soaked up the magic.
Mum loved the big musicals of the time, Carousel , Paint your Wagons, South Pacific. Now Dad he loved the classics, Maria Calis was exactly who my Dad really liked .. I learned to a appreciate Mum and Dad’s music at a young age.
Teresa loved Pat Boone, Frances loved Elvis and Cliff, Mary…well I can’t remember who Mary really liked back then but in later years she was into big shows and jazz. My brother Tony was heavily in to Johnny Mathis for whom I have a great liking still. Then there was John Patrick who was absolutely besotted with Buddy Holly and Adam Faith both of whom I also like.
So how can I finish this post? Well I am going to say that there is one of the afore mentioned artists of whom I am very much enamoured and that is Adam Faith! My favourite song of his is …wait for it…WHO AM I and here it is .💜

It’s a great show isn’t it 💜

Oh wow – I loved Adam Faith too! When I was 12, his hit song “What do you want?” was my very favorite. Do you remember that one? It would’ve been in ’58 or ’59 so you were probably too young…?
I really enjoyed this post, Willow. Thanks for the memories. 😄❤

I remember all of Adam Faith’s songs Betty I grew up with them . What do you want was released in, as you say 1959 I was 6yrs old. My brother would of been about 12yrs. I am so glad you enjoyed the post it brought back memories for me 💜💜
