Here is my daughter Helen and her new husband Andy on their wedding day in Taormina, Sicily in Ocober 27 2006. There was a civil ceremony in the Town Hall first. Then we all walked through the main street to the church for the marriage ceremony. In the main square on the way was a group of musicians, which provided a marvellous photo opportunity. The locals formed a circle and clapped and cheered throughout this dance. My request for Fernando was politely turned down! This guy was clearly not Benny. Helen is a teacher in Gloucester, Andy is a fireman in Cheltenham. Helen got an English degree at college, I am very proud of her. This is one of my favorite songs, and seemed most appropriate for this dancing square photo. Merry-Go-Round was recorded on March 29 1972 at Metronome Studio, Stockholm. It was released in Sweden in June 1972 as the B-side of the single People Need Love under the name of Bjorn, Benny, Agnetha and Anni-Frid. This song had earlier been recorded in Swedish by Bjorn and Benny as "En Karusell". In Japan, the record company chose Merry-Go-Round for the A-side. This was the first record as a group for the four young Swedes. Bjorn recalls: "From that time on, we were convinced we could work together as a quartet and contemplate doing more things. But we weren't in a rush, since Agnetha was still under contract to CBS-Cupol." From Ring, Ring album (1973). Lyrics: I have tried in vain never had success, So it seems my life is nothing but a mess, I have lost my only friend, Now it seems I have to start again, Merry-go-round, where am I bound With my love and feelings, Merry-go-round, who wants to kiss me And hug me and miss me, Yes, who wants to do it I wish that I knew it, Merry-go-round, wish I had found Somebody to care for, where am I bound Life is so lonely, if life is just only To love with my loving, goes 'round and 'round Looking for someone who would want to stay, I might find her with a bit of luck one day, But who knows so until then, I can only try and try again, Merry-go-round, where am I bound With my love and feelings, Merry-go-round, who wants to kiss me, And hug me and miss me, Yes, who wants to do it I wish that I knew it, Merry-go-round, wish I had found Somebody to care for, where am I bound Life is so lonely, if life is just only To love with my loving, goes 'round and 'round, Merry-go-round, where am I bound With my love and feelings, Merry-go-round, who wants to kiss me And hug me and miss me, Yes, who wants to do it I wish that I knew it, Merry-go-round, wish I had found Somebody to care for, where am I bound Life is so lonely, if life is just only To love with my loving, goes 'round and 'round, Merry-merry-merry-merry-merry-go-round..
