dear sirs/Madams,

My name is Mike McGill, and I am writing to this forum from New Orleans, USA (actually I live in a suburb of N.O. called Metairie). I came across this forum during a search for information about a U.K. television black sitcom entitled " The Desmond's". This show aired in the USA back in the 80's, and i had taped a few of the episodes on my VCR. But, these tapes, along with many of my other possessions were lost during Hurricane Katrina.


My main inquiry is this: The opening music for each episode was a Soca tune named "Don't Scratch My Soca". What I am interested in findong out, is the name of the artist that performed this song. Any assistance that could be provided would be most welcome.


regards,

mike mcgill

Hi Vimike,


Hi I am a fan too. It was actually Norman Beaton (the guy that played Desmond) that sung the lyrics to the theme tune! Unfortunately, Norman Beaton died around ten years ago.


You can buy the Desmond?s series on DVD from Ebay if you wanted to replace your set.

    • Rather than have a go at Southwark,  contact them, they will employ at least one arborist who will know far more than most people on this site. Here's one: https://www.linkedin.com/in/shaun-murphy-morris-03b7b665/?originalSubdomain=uk
    • I would look in the surrounding area as once they realise it has nothing they could sell or of obvious monatary value in it they'll dump the bag and contents.
    • Not in mine either if I knew they were there 🤣
    • Trees, eh? I feel your pain, EDP, but I like the light provided by the pollarding. I'm interested in the gingko, tho.  I love a tree, me - Hillsboro Rd has lost about five over the last 20 years (2x lime, cherry, strawberry, and, er...). The council did take down about 5 ill original lime trees behind our house but then gave us Golden Rain trees. God, if only we had known what a PITA they are. The main problems are massive invasive surface roots which have buggered up my back fence and paving, plus thousands of vigorously self-seeding offspring every year, which I go around pulling up before they turn into trees. And the leaves are tough things, like horse chestnuts, so don't rot easily. I hate them.  Wish they could have been something native and attractive, like birch or something... council isn't interested in helping.  Ah, well.
