Xanadu…oo…ooh

Watching her get physical, was magic!

First, it was Xanadu. Then suddenly, the duet.

She looks just as I’d remembered her from the warm, summer nights more than 30 years ago – Sandy Olsen from Grease (1978).

Her sweet innocence and demeanour was so captivating. If there’s such a thing as a “girl-crush”, I had that.

I wanted so much to tell her “You’re the one that I want and I honestly love you.”

But then, there was Sam. (“And please Mr please… If you love me let me know…” I found myself singing along)

30 years on, I never imagined that I would ever get to see her again, live in concert singing all my favourite songs.

And you know what’s amazing about her? She’s not gonna give into it, even though she’s weathered some of the worst storms of life. And she sings of nothing but love, grace and gratitude.

Oliver Newton-John, or ONJ as my colleagues at GOLD90FM would say, I’m hopelessly devoted to you.
