Ruby Murray Official Site

Hi, everybody. Gerald has kindly uploaded to the Library the lyrics of a song that has become one of my big favourites of Ruby's recordings, MACUSHLA MINE . He has given me credit for the submission even though I only started the effort, and Gerald has helped a great deal to get the lyrics right. So...

Hi, Bernie. I would just like to tell you that Gerald & I had laid a plan to announce this special day, but I'm very happy that you beat us to it. And very nicely phrased, too. I'm sure that all of Ruby's keener fans, and all of your friends, were anticipating some recognition of this Special Occasi...

Hi, John.
I don't know if you are correct (according to Bernie), but I think your answer is absolutely brilliant. I hope Bernie awards you & Kathleen a Platinum Star.

Best wishes.
Ralph

Well done, John. You get a star, too. There is just one song left (unless somebody comes up with one I overlooked). The last one also has a vague connection to the Matt Monro song, and has an indirect connection to my first title. P.S. I listened to the last song again, and I realize that it doesn't...

Hello, everyone.

So far, stars have been given for :

Please Make Him Jealous (Bernie)
Let Him Go, Let Him Tarry (Martin)
A Message from Jimmy (Gerald)

For the last 2 songs on my list, I might suggest that you consider an old Matt Monro song, "WALK AWAY".

Best of luck.
Ralph

Hello, Gerald.

Yes, you have one.

Now I have 2 more songs on my list.

Regards.
Ralph

Hello, John. I didn't have "Jimmy Unknown" on my list, but it's a good answer considering my unclear question. I have sharpened my question so please read it again. In "Jimmy Unknown", 'Ruby' is surely looking for a new love, but doesn't seem to be leaving an old one. Have another go. Regards. Ralph

Hi, Bernie & Gerald. Bernie, your choice was on my list - so you get une etoile rouge (? - my French is very rusty). Gerald, I hadn't thought of "The Humour is On Me Now", but you're correct, of course. The girl tries to choose between 3 men, marries Joe, but is soon very unhappy. But I don't think ...

Hello, Martin.

That's one of them, but there several more. I should have made it clear that I'm looking for more than one song. Try to think of as many as you can.

Good luck.
Ralph

Hi, everone. The Forum has gone 'silent' again, so I decided to try a teaser. In which of Ruby's songs (there are several) do the lyrics indicate that 'Ruby' will leave her man & has found, or hopes to catch, a new man? Have fun. Good luck. Ralph I apologize for the ambiguities in my first message. ...

Hi, Bernie. After careful consideration, I have decided that it must be "Miss O'Leary's Irish Fruit Cake". That recipe certainly caused people to do strange things. Fingers crossed. Ralph P.S. I've been lending my Ruby CDs (they currently have my Anthology) to Ron & Barbara Smyth, neighbours three d...

Hello, John & all other fans of Ruby. It's still March 29 over here, and I've been thinking a lot about Ruby today. I made a trip last weekend to see my daughter, her husband and my 7-week old granddaughter in Ottawa, and got the opportunity to tell two old friends (one from the Yukon and one from W...

Well done, Gerald.

Excellent new home page. I love the album covers, all being wonderful pictures of a very beautiful lady - our dear Ruby.

Happy St. Paddy's Day to all.
Ralph

Hello, everybody. Bernie asked me if I could think of a 'teaser' to liven up our Forum. Well, I couldn't think of anything that would really challenge the experts, but I have a question for you all, something that's puzzled me for months. In "Forty Shades of Green" Ruby seems to sing "and the folks ...

Hello Bernie, Gerald & John.

I have just played "Do You Remember" and am very pleased with the quality of the recording.
It's a very 'cute' song, with nice changes of tempo.

Bernie, I wish I'd seen it 'live'.

Well done to you all.
Ralph
