It's not a complete list, by the way .... but they all have something in common, apart from all beginning with D.
The list began for me with Distel .... and it set off a thought ..... and I found more words that strengthened the thought. To be honest, I feel a twit for not noticing it before.
As far as I know, it's nothing to do with Sacha Distel.
But here he is anyway, singing a German song. It's rather plodding, but I felt I had to do it.
So here he is then, with " Der Platz neben mir"
