macca Posted October 12, 2008 Posted October 12, 2008 I remember the Peterborough Fair for the big commercial hits of 1974 like 'Rock The Boat' The Hughes Corporation, 'Rock Your Baby' George McRae & 'Hang On In There' Johnny Bristol, and then the funkier stuff like 'Low Rider' & 'Me & Baby Brother' War. 14 years old & the old hormones going through the roof. Lots of clumsy fumblings & tongue thrashing under the arches, so to speak. I'd hate to go through all that again... :-)
