Goodby Chas and Thanks

A word of praise for a favourite musical genous who has passed away

                                 Goodbye Chas and Thanks
All live's will come to an end but we leave praising far too late
We should have shown our appreciation while they were entertaining
I refer to "Chas" of "Chas and Dave" a pair that were really great
Chas has sadly passed away now leaving only Dave remaining.

I love their music and always will, everything they sang was great
They were proud to be of London birth and always used that accent
Rest in peace Chas, I am so sorry to have left my praise too late
If you can hear me up  in heaven "Your piano playng was excellent"

When I listen to "That old piano" and "Wish I could write a love song"
My mind just rushes to my favoutite "Waiting on a word from Anne"
I know I've been neglectful and I have left my comments far too long
I promise that I will play your musical work all the time that I still can

A great tribute you have penned here Rod. I'm a Londoner myself and have always loved Chas and Dave. The music will live on.

Unfortunately we do leave many things too late Chris, I always went to see them here in Gt.Yarmouth but I never praised them while Chas was alive. Typical old man behaviour, then when one of them passes on I feel guilty. That's life I suppose. I still have their music on disc so I will continue to listen and enjoy. Take care Rod.

I feel sure he would be delighted to know that his legacy of music will live on. Take care Rod and don't beat yourself up. Just play the music :)

Fitting tribute here. We tend to put off heartfelt praise till its too late. I am sure an appreciative spirit will know that you mwere distracted.

Two of my favourite singers Kitty, they used to appear in our local Great Yarmouth entertainment centre and I would always go down to enjoy their songs. I was really upset when I heard that Chas had died but I suppose he was at the far end of his time on earth. Great entertainer and I wish him well where ever he might be. Rod.
