I was born in 1960, so was brought up through the 60`s. The first record i bought after saving my pocket money, was Dave clarke fives-Bits and pieces. My mum has a photo of me somewhere playing my cardboard box drum kit. My mum was a lover of music and still is inher 80`s, i did her a soul cd a few months ago. She was a big fane of the Ronnettes , Crystals, & Righteous brothers, she even had her hair like Ronnie spector at one time. Years after me and my brother nicknamed her Modette mum. I was walking through a market with the wife the other day, there was a guy selling cd`s and playing was Telstar, that was allways a favourite in our house. Our christmas parties were legendary in our area. I remember men and women turning up on scooters, in slick suits and fancy skirts and boots. I used to l,isten from the top of the stairs. My older brother was a Rocker, so i also listened to the other side of things, Stones etc. This however became a problem when i turned 17, my brother was one of the local big boys on the motorbike scene and leather clad men and women allways hung around our house, with B.S.A`s & Triumphs regularly parked outside. So you can imagine the uproar when i turned up home from work on my 17th birthday, on my Li 150............F***IN HAIRDRYER :lol:
