Abba - Me And Bobby And Bobby's Brother

Here is a close up picture of my two sons. Simon (14) is on the left, David (21) is on the right. Not quite as frightening as Jim's picture yesterday. This picture was taken in October 2006, on the balcony of the room we stayed in for my daughter Helen's wedding to Andy in Taormina, Sicily.
Simon is very good at football, and plays for his school and local team.
Local paper match report for 29/1/08:
"Carr Begins Rout
Charlton Rovers Blues U-15s 9, Southside Cubs U-15s 1
In blustery conditions Blues took an early lead with a fierce shot from Simon Carr, who then doubled the lead with a well taken penalty."
Local paper match report for 15/12/07:
"Charlton Rovers Blues 1, Southside 2
Rovers took an early lead when Simon Carr ran the length of the pitch before calmly slotting home."
Local paper match report for 27/11/07:
"Carr Steers Blues To Win
Forest Green 0, Charlton Rovers Blues 3
Early pressure resulted in Simon Carr scoring from close range. Rovers pushed forward in the second half and Simon Carr went on to complete a hat-trick."
Who knows what the future holds in a very competitive sport?
Our local football team is Cheltenham Town FC, who have won their last 4 matches. They are currently 19th of 24 in English League Division 1. They gained promotion from non league to Football League in 1998.
This song seems most appropriate for two brothers. It's the only Abba song where Benny wrote the lyrics, which he did for his partner's Frida's first lead vocal with the group. It was recorded on January 25 1973 at KMH Studio Stockholm.
From Ring Ring album (1973). Lyrics:
Well, there was me and Bobby and Bobby's brother,
Please take me back to that place,
Where I've got all my memories,
Those were my happiest days,
I remember all the games we used to play - I really do,
And I went to see them almost every day -- I wanted to,
Though we quarrelled at times,
And had a few fights,
We were the best of friends,
We found a place in the sun,
To have enough fun,
Well, there was me and Bobby and Bobby's brother
Wildest kids you could see,
We would play together,
Climbing the apple-tree,
Yes, there was me and Bobby and Bobby's brother
Please take me back to that place,
Where I've got all my memories,
Those were my happiest days,
They would take me out for football games,
And such they liked to play,
And I guess I didn't like it very much - but anyway,
I was happy and proud to be with the boys,
Being a little girl,
I found a place in the sun,
To have enough fun,
Well, there was me and Bobby and Bobby's brother
Wildest kids you could see,
We would play together,
Climbing the apple tree,
Yes, there was me and Bobby and Bobby's brother
Please take me back to that place,
Where I've got all my memories,
Those were my happiest days,
Well, there was me and Bobby and Bobby's brother
Please take me back to that place,
Where I've got all my memories,
Those were my happiest days,
(Got all my memories, those were my happiest days)
Where I've got all my memories,
Those were my happiest days,
(Got all my memories, those were my happiest days)
Where I've got all my memories,
Those were my happiest days,
(Got all my memories, those were my happiest days)

Regards from mexico, for your family and for you, my friend john!!!!

Thanks Alejandro, I must try and visit your country sometime! I do quite a few family based videos set to appropriate Abba songs!

The picture goes very well accordingly with the song, and talk about new blood in football! Simon might just one day be the next David Beckham or Ronaldinho!!! I imagine David is hitting the books at university, right? Take care my friend and keep up the good work!

[abbafanglosuk]

Hi Jose, I wish things were going as well as that! Simon would have been signed up by some club by now. He's unlikely to takeup football, only a fraction of players make it professionally. David only did the normal 5 years at senior school, he's not that intellectally minded. But at least he's got a decent steady job, and should do ok in the future. You take care also Jose.

[abbafanglosuk]

Thanks Di, I know you have 2 beautiful girls of similar age! Growing children can be a handful at this stage. Yes Simon looks more like 16, he's going very well by keeping fit a lot.
