I was watching an old episode of British chat show Parkinson the other day.
His guest is Liza Minnelli, who’s about to sing a Charles Aznavour song
accompanied by Laurie Holloway on piano. She says that he played at the
Palladium with Judy Garland (Liza’s mother) and herself. But I can’t for the
life of me make out Parkinson’s follow-up joke about Laurie.
Anyone who’d like to try and help me out? I’ve uploaded a 5 sec. mp3-clip to
www.mediamax.com/nymano if someone would like to give it a go. I suspect a
native Brit – maybe even a Yorkshireman – would have much better chaces of
deciphering what it is dear old Parkie is saying...

Parky swallows part of the sentence so much that it makes a few words
incomprehensible, but he was making a joke on the fly so it's
understandable.
- He's played for all of them ... Sophie Tucker, all of them he's
played for ... there's nobody he's not played for.
He's implying that Laurie is old.
