Music to get you moving, even if its only a toe tap its better for us than nothing eh'.

[dall05]

Ah Top of the pops from the 70s, the poor miming, the Glam sparkly clothes, the high shoe's, the long hair, the flared trousers, the dodgy DJs, but out of this occasionally came a good tune.

I quite like this one, hope you do to. youtu.be/PIMSo2eLLP0(Not working as expected?)

Its time for some morning exercise so this tune has got me started. onward and upwards Healthunlockeders eh'

[jillygirl]

Thanks Tony.

[dall05 in reply to jillygirl]

The Strawbs were having some fun that day on top of the pops and it kind of rubs off when you watch and listen to it don't it jillygirl.

I was doing head rocking to it - great pick me up

[dall05 in reply to Hidden]

That's good for the neck muscles eye's as long as your head stays on. Ha Ha. Music works for me and even helps me enjoy exercising. (sometimes)!! a bit of singing is also good for the lungs too but I make sure I am alone for that as its not fair on others.

[Hidden in reply to dall05]

I am hopeless at singing but love Iron Maiden and nobody notices if I get all the notes wrong and great head banging too

[dall05 in reply to Hidden]

Wow! Iron Maiden, now were talking real rock that has stood the test of time. Great band and still going strong. My son has seen them recently at last years download and sonisphere this year.

This is my favorite. youtu.be/K7ToNJHgp-w(Not working as expected?)

brilliant and this is mine youtube.com/watch?v=uYmcjhK...(Not working as expected?)

I have been to 5 live concerts

My handle on photo sites is eyestrange from this song

[Hidden in reply to dall05]

not very good with links - the song is 'don't look through the eyes of a stranger'

Blaze Bailey lead singer

[dall05 in reply to Hidden]

Just listened to it eyes and I like it, classic metal with its slow and fast sections. Maybe you could post a video of yourself singing it but 8 minutes could be a bit of a test for the lungs eh'.

Rock on eye's your a real 'Trooper'

[Hidden in reply to dall05]

glad you like and you never know - I might post me head banging and singing ......er but then maybe not lol

[Hidden in reply to dall05]

oh ps

great canal side shot - looks lovely

[Suzy6 in reply to Hidden]

Sure does eyes. All my photos are too large. Never mind photography I'm not brilliant at xx P.S All Tony's photos are good.

[Hidden in reply to Suzy6]

don't forget you can send them to me to re size until we sort your camera out

[dall05 in reply to Suzy6]

Thanks Suzy, its made a lot easier with digital camera that does it all for you. Huggs does the best pictures though, there amazing don't you think.

[Hidden in reply to Suzy6]

sorry suzy got you mixed up with Huggs - if you want help re sizing your shots pm me suzy

[dall05 in reply to Hidden]

Yeh' I pass the main Lock near Diglis wear on the Severn when I do my river walk and the Evening primrose? was just asking to be snapped with the lock in the background.

[Suzy6]

Keep rocking Tony. I'm more a 50's and 60's girl myself being ancient. Keep well and I hope you are still keeping your exercises regime ready for the big day. xx

[Tazzy2 in reply to Suzy6]

Me too Judy Garland is my all time fave. Rock not really I love big bands.

[dall05 in reply to Tazzy2]

Hi Tazzy2, your beginning to sound like my Mum. Ha Ha. I don't mind a bit of Big band myself though and Judy who!

[Suzy6 in reply to Tazzy2]

Hi Tazzy you would get on well with my husband he adores big bands. Judy Garland films. Me all and everything 40's 50's 60's.

[Tazzy2 in reply to Suzy6]

My father made musical instruments before the war and did so for many of the dance bands and big bands of the day, Henry Hall, Ambrose and Roy Fox to name but a few. I was a late baby as they say.I am 49 but he would have been 100 this year, Mum was 40 when I was born. so was brought up listening to the music of the 30's, 40's and 50's.

Belong to the Judy Garland fan club and am going to a weekend convention in Beverley, Yorkshire, at the end of the month. amongst other things one of the talks/features is 'I Could Go On Singing’ – a 2013 50th anniversary tribute to Judy’s final and only British movie

[Suzy6 in reply to Tazzy2]

Hi Tazzy yep same taste as my husband. He also likes German bands. Enjoy your Convention. Let me know how it goes. Oh Tazzy you are a spring chicken, my son is older than you. Go out there and enjoy yourself. I was born in the 40's.xx

[qbjb in reply to Tazzy2]

Oh Tazzy2 how very strange - it's such a small world.

I grew up listening to mostly 30s music because my father was in the pre-war Roy Fox band! My main hobby now is trying to collect all the 78s he was on.

Jude

[Tazzy2 in reply to qbjb]

Dad taught himself the clarinet, what instrument did yours play?

[qbjb in reply to Tazzy2]

Violin, sax and clarinet!

[Tazzy2 in reply to qbjb]

Thanks, small world as you say. Got some Roy Fox stuff recorded on our reel to reel tape recorder.

Played trumpet and cornet myself. Now content myself with the piano

[qbjb in reply to Tazzy2]

I used to play the piano but don't any more - never was much good!

Wouldn't playing trumpet or cornet be good for lung function?

[dall05 in reply to Suzy6]

I will rock till I drop Suzy, hey' us rockers have a lot to thank the 50s and 60s for, that's when it all started. Lucky for me I like all sorts of music and today has been a music day for me, what with the weather an all. xx

[Suzy6 in reply to dall05]

My son is the same 70's mad but has a very wide range of music he also loves. For a while he was even a punk. Thankfully he came out of that.

[Puffthemagicdragon]

The Strawbs. Brings back memories. Thanks Dall.

One of my favourites was Hangman and the Papist.

Listen to the words as it's a good storyline.

[dall05 in reply to Puffthemagicdragon]

Not a song I remember but your right its a good one. Don't think I'll try singing that one though like on the following video post. The Strawbs have got serious competition NOT!!!

[Sohara]

You always play such great music when doing your exercises Dall....no wonder you are getting so much fitter

I fully expect when you get your new Lungs ( or perhaps lung) to see photo's of you rocking away on the dance floor

Your music seems to reflect your character......full of get up an go !!!

Love Sohara xx

[dall05 in reply to Sohara]

Yeh' Sohara get up and go 'SLOW'!!! but that's the way its is going to be until the new lungs come along. I'm ok with that because I know things could be a lot worse, 4 years ago I had a year that not many people could imagine so getting to where I am now is like winning the lottery.

My music has helped me through dark days and it seems singing along with it is good for us too so that's my excuse for the 'screeching' video . :).

When I get those lungs there wont be a dance floor big enough for me and I may even have a voice that stays in tune, with luck! xx

[scorpiolass]

I like this Tony; talented group, I also played Union Man - different world then eh? Love Mx

[rockett777]

oh yea, my hubby would of been in his element. I remember the fashion, huge bell bottom trousers.mmmm being 16 years younger, im an 80's girl. Loved donny orsmond/david cassidy.lol

[pergola1]

Wind up time!!! George Formby - I dont think so.

[dall05 in reply to pergola1]

Is he still cleaning windows or leaning on that lampost watching out for that certain little lady.

[Puffthemagicdragon]

This one is from me to all you lot out there. One of the Strawbs best. I hope you find it as uplifting as I do !

[Hidden]

Ahh the 70's. Remember it well x

[James48]

I remember them well! Great song but some crazy boots the keyboard player is wearing!!

[dall05]

The 70s fashion was something else, those boots certainly weren't made for walking. Glad you enjoyed the tune sirjames and the walk down memory lane.
