Music is an important part of my life and my wife's too.

Yes peter we very often have music playing in the background in our house

How times Fly

[grahamw48]

I was 16 for most of '68, and grew 5 inches that year.

For me a memorable year for music, and of course the Vietnam war was very much in the news and keeping the American bases in the Philippines very busy.

[stevie c]

Yes the Motown years if im not mistaken.....I do like the motown sound its awsome

[imagine]

i was 14 yrs old and couldnt wait untill i could leave home, wasnt it about the same year we started to go decimal money

[Terpe]

And now for something completely different..... Skiffle

The undisputed Skiffle King was Lonnie Donegan and he and his band were the best and by far the biggest toppest UK skiffle band ever in history.

Lonnie Donegan - Jack O' Diamonds



Lonnie Donegan - Cumberland Gap

[stevie c]

Yeah i remember listening tio lonnie donnegan in my house when i was a kid......Does your bubblegum lose its flavour on the bed post overnight.......my old mans a dustman ect ect

Nope....Feb 15th 1971.

I remember it well because I had an evening job working behind the bar in a pub on Fleet St.

We had 2 price lists on top of the till.

[imagine]

your showing your age now Terpe

i remember his My Old Man's a Dustman

[imagine]

[grahamw48]

hahaha.

Yes, those are the ones I remember my brother and I singing.

As a little kid my favourite funny song, and still makes me laugh today was 'The laughing Policeman' (someone Penrose sang it).

[grahamw48]

I always thought Skiffle was 'studenty' music, and a bit tame.

Cliff Richards and the Shadows were more to my taste....also Adam Faith, Billy Fury etc.

[grahamw48]

Not sure if they're Brits....probably not, but I just had to post this....to me one of the best and 'sexiest' ever songs from the great days of Rock and Roll. Still gives me goosebumps now, and I instantly remember Teddy boys and motorbikes.

Put it on loud !
