Anyone recall 'Sparky's Magic Piano'?

[Another Northern Soul]

Used to love this as a story when I was a kid, played on vinyl numerous times. I could've sworn I watched a cartoon version of it in the early 70s too but that isn't likely as there wasn't one until 1987!

I listened to it on YouTube last night, it's not half as good as I remembered it but it's still got some wonder to it.

Rigger will probably know something about the music of a later Sparky adventure

Never heard of it, mate

I know Jamie And His Magic Torch, though now it sounds like a gay porno title ..

No mate, I don't think so - look on YouTube, it'll all be there. I don't know the other Sparky stories, I was just quoting Wiki. I definitely knew nowt about Stan's involvement.

ELO link to the piano too

Still own a double vinyl album, Hello Children Everywhere, bought when the kids were young. Includes all the greats which of course means Sparky, Runaway Train Etc.

Used to be a radio programme I think which became Chilren's Favourites when I was a kid myself. Innocence used to abound. Now kids F&Blind and watch the Kardashions rather than The Laughing Policeman.

Kids don't have childhoods now, they have thinterweb.

I have a CD called All Aboard which contains all the classic children's tunes, its probably a later version of Hello Children Everywhere. My daughter (5) loves My Brother by Terry Scott and Right said Fred by Bernard Cribbins. Fantastic memories.
