GEORGE OWENS
George Owens was on Old Boy, from the school on the Hill. |
He was a past President of the NBHS P&C Association, a regular attendee at the OBA Annual Dinners and, in his later years, often won the award for the ‘Oldest Old Boy’.
When George’s children were living at home, he used to often sing to them, with his fine tenor voice, songs from those ‘gentler times’. These were the days before TV and ‘social media’, when only one parent usually worked, and when families ate together at the dinner table.
In 1964, when George was 56 and had not sung for some time, he responded to a request from his daughter Margaret, who was overseas and missed his singing, to record a few songs for the family.
George explains this after the last song.
These five songs are a result of that request.
- Ah, sweet mystery of life play
Because play
Don’t be cross play
Tell me tonight play
For you alone play
