Ok Cam mate, seeing as you have said hello to us on Tykesmad tonight, Id like to ask you all on here what your memories are of the glam rock days. Heres a vid about the year of 1973 anyway, does this bring back memories for all of you oldies. ;D

Like all true rock and rollers from those days I can't remember anything. For 8 years I was employed as Head Bouncer by a concert promoter and also served regrettably as bagman and pimp. I gave it up a couple of years into the punk era as the violence got completely out of hand.
Rolling Stones, 1971. Brown Sugar in open G changed guitar playing forever. Although Chuck Berry might say otherwise ;-)
Remember the music and the news as if it were yesterday except I'd forgotten the extent of the IRA bombings/terrorism.
Can't play the video, sorry I didn't realise it involves bombings.
It's all the music and news from '73 including petrol rationing, the 3 day week and spoon bending!Quote:

Why I should make up a tale that probably reflects badly on me only you can know milla? Memories are short on MM. I explained this to davidr9 on here several years back and he was in no doubt as to my veracity.Quote:

Milla, assuming you can read it's all in this book. When you've read it you can come back on and apologise to me.
