Outside my flat (apartment) in Central London there is a street party...to celebrate the Queen's 50th Anniversary

Its been going on all day and it's nice to see the neighbours all together. They were still there after I got back from the gym and whilst I came on line.

I looked out over my balcony and say a few people dancing and this is IN THE STREET to Young Hearts Run Free, Breaking Up Is Hard to do, Stupid Cupied, I Will Survive That's The Way (ah ha) I Like It (interestingly all American records)

Suddenly the piano intro of the Jackson 5's "I Want You back" started..I rushed out and by the time Michael had got to his "awwwww" the street was screaming it with him......much dancing took place. The next track was ..yeah you guessed it, dancing in the street......even the old girls were shaking their walking sticks!!!! then You Keep Me Hanging On....I thought, what on earth am I doing here, so I am off down there..

See ya!!

John,
I can't think of any better music to celebrate such an occasion. Our best to the Queen from the States.
