Now there was Happy Days, all in our prime of youth, we would just get together around a piano and Marinus's house and sing the night or week-end away.
Practice every Monday night at President Primary school hall, putting the magic of song and dance together. PATO, as it was known was formed many many years ago before television was in South Africa, and this group got together and entertained people around the country.

Na, I am not to worried I have a label on my back "FRAGILE" and here in the UK the law and enforcement there-of is very good when it comes to ABUSING DADS.
