Me: Classic rock, large open American roads, classic muscle cars, guns and aviator shades.
Forgot 70's and 80's music and films.Me too and wrong country. V8's, drag racing, hot rods and cheap fuel
I'm listening to classic country right now as well!That`s what i like to hear being an aging juvenile delinquent You are Cool dudes indeed
I'll never forget that first day at t' pit
Me and me father worked a seventy two hour shift
And then we walked home forty three miles through t' snow in us bare feet
Huddled inside us clothes made out of old sacks........
We din't have no tele's or shoes or bedclothes
We made us own fun in them days
Do you know when i were a lad you could get a Tram down into't town
Buy 3 new suits n an overcoat, 4 new pair of good boots
Goo n see George Formby at Palace Theatre ,
Get Blind Drunk,
Have some Steak n Chips, Bunch of bananas n 3 stone of monkey Nuts
And still have change out on a farthing..
We did lots of things in them days
They haven't got today
Rickets, Diptheria, Hitler, and
By we did look well going to school with no backsides in us trousers n
All us little heads painted Purple cause we had Ringworm
They Dunt Know theyre Born Today!!!!

Wonderful music Chuffer - Jack Bruce's (RIP) vocals for the day are wonderful. All music from the period is made so much better now when played through modern equipment and re-mastered.Praise be . There is still hope for the human race then
OMG - I am listening to Classic 60`s on the smart speaker and they are just playing `White Room ` by Cream ! The sound track to my early life , first love and all that The lyrics by Jack Bruce are pure poetry . Far out man ✌

Wish I had his bloody money rather than his looks Just think of all the Corvettes I could buy A mate of a good friend of mine was involved with Pink Floyd doing the lighting set ups . I have met him a few times and he even has one of David Gilmores old guitars ! Small world innit ? He only lives a few miles from me and is a real petrol head too. He has an Aston Martin and bought a stunning big barn conversion house with lots of land and built a high end storage facility for classic cars and an attached workshop for classic Aston Martin work . He was struggling to find someone to run the construction project at the time and having had years of experience as a Clerk of Works , Project Manager and Facilities Manager we did chat about me taking it on . I wasn`t really that fussed as was glad to leave all that hassle behind when I retired early . Fortunately he found someone else in the end .Whilst out walking the dog the other night I got into conversation with someone who I had previously nodded/exchanged pleasantries with but never really spoke with. We got onto the subject of 70's music and particularly prog rock that I loved (still do with Yes etc). Turns out he owns a packing company locally who deal with Pink Floyd when they are on tour, he has a warehouse with loads of their old stuff, inflatables from the Animals days, the heads from the Division Bell days etc etc. Once (if) these bloody crazy pandemic days end he has told me to give him a ring when passing and he will show me all this memorabilia. By the way Chuffer, on the subject of prog rock I thought that picture of yourself you posted the other day had more than a passing resemblance to a young Rick Wakeman
