[sassy59 in reply to Hacienda]

Another great song. Now who sang “let the sunshine in?” Think it was from a London musical like Godspell. Xxx 🌞🥰

[sassy59 in reply to Hacienda]

It’s the Age of Aquarius from Hair. Pete and I actually saw that in London many moons ago. Xxxx 😘😀

[Hacienda in reply to sassy59]

I saw this too "Aquarius" it left a big Impact on me as a Young Girl, 1960's I think, Yes. "let the sunshine in", Hearing it in my Head...Oh soulboy118, what have you started. xxxxx

[sassy59 in reply to Hacienda]

👍😘😂🥰

[soulboy118 in reply to Hacienda]

All the punsters are coming out this morning , loving it x

[Comino2 in reply to Hacienda]

The musical has been revived and is doing a 50th anniversary tour at the moment.Hard to believe its been that long.This time around I doubt the nudity,drugs,hippies,homosexuality or the music will cause the same contraversy.Round about the time of Woodstock I believe too...The youngsters probably think of our generation as being a load of boring old fogies,how wrong they were.... Wow how the world has changed.We could certainly do with more peace and love now in these troubled times.

Got a bit carried away there...I will now take the flowers out of my hair,stop dancing, put my shoes back on and sit back down in my comfy old fogeys chair xx

[Hacienda in reply to Comino2]

Don't Forget we were the First lot to Ditch The Bra, And Wear flowers all over, We were Young and carefree and never hurt anyone. XXXX

[Comino2 in reply to Hacienda]

Absolutely,happy days xx

[soulboy118 in reply to Comino2]

With age comes a history , we have lived through interesting times lol

[Comino2 in reply to soulboy118]

I believe they say if you can remember the 60s you weren't there !! xx

[soulboy118 in reply to Comino2]

I was 3 in 1960 so I remember the middle 60s but was definitely not playing then , my brother was he was a typical mod ,

[Comino2 in reply to soulboy118]

I was also too young to 'live' the early 60s.Great music then and in the 70s xx

[Hacienda in reply to soulboy118]

I was an Original Mod Girl, Then Taught my son (2nd Generation Mod) everything about Lambrettas and how to Dress it up , and the Mod Clothes we wore. Now my Granddaughter at Uni is asking me all about the 60's Scene for her "Design & Photography Course" We have had many a laugh with my outrageous outfits of the Era. She is at Glastonbury right Now. Things Don't Always Change. Have a Great Friday. XXXX

[soulboy118 in reply to Hacienda]

I remember all the mods coming to partys at our house in the early 60s , I remember the scooter guys and girls , I was to young to own one then and I was a little skinhead then , I got my musical taste from my oldest brother he was a soulie too ( I found his twisted wheel membership a few years ago) , I also remember all the hippies who all seemed really old to me lol and the biker gangs , looking back it was a good time to be young but we all say that dont we

[Hacienda in reply to soulboy118]

I loved to Watch the Hippies and maybe pretended to be one, But my Mum wouldn't let me become a Full member, although She was a Hippie herself. She allowed me to be a "Mod" and bought me my First "MOD Suit" I was a bit Anti Rockers, though Loved their Music and the Leathers, When I started work I bought a Pair of Leather Trousers , Loved them, I was a bit of a Miss/match. Yes, we do all say that "The good days". 100% They were. XXXX

[soulboy118 in reply to Hacienda]

I remember admiring those well dressed mods ( boys and girls) and the hippie girls just seemed so free and approachable ,the bikers were a different kettle of fish ,definetly not to be messed with as a teenager, over time I got to know them all with going to school with their younger brothers and sisters so it made my life easier being a skinhead living in a predominantly biker area lol I did enjoy that time with no responsibilities, I'm smiling thinking about those days now and I still go out with old mates from those times

[ScouseTaffy in reply to Hacienda]

My bro in law went to isle of wight with a sleeping bag rolled up with string hung on his shoulder and a ten bob note. His daughter just went to Glasto in her beamer with a mini popup tent, a phone and credit card.

[ScouseTaffy in reply to Hacienda]

Did you suffer in later life from ditching the bra? I do lift my skirt to ponder if that's my root cause????? 🤔

[Comino2]

Lovely down here on the south coast with a welcome breeze but not so good for inland, Summer in the City [Loving spoonful] xx

[soulboy118 in reply to Comino2]

U should have said " summer breeze "( the isleys) instead of welcome breeze Camino2

[Comino2 in reply to soulboy118]

Oh yes I remember it well..'blowing through the jasmine in my mind' xx

[knitter]

' Grey skies are gonna Clear Up, put on a Happy Face'

I can actually see a bit of blue sky after a cold grey start.....I might take my woolly scarf off later.

Here comes the Sun is one of my favourites....I have an ancient cassette tape with it on somewhere .

Thanks for cheering post.

[soulboy118 in reply to knitter]

Keep that cassette tape and one day it will be worth a few Bob, not because of the songs on it but what it actually is

[Lemon7]

Yes. Look at the return of vinyl. That's when you know you are old. When you lived through the original times and it's trendy again!

[soulboy118 in reply to Lemon7]

Same with northern soul , I lived and enjoyed the early 70s when it was very popular ( as it was in the 60s during my brothets time although it wasnt called that back then) ,vinyl is very big in the ns community ,some of the records are changing hands at several hundred pounds amongst djs as all us old soulie have reconnected with it , it has had people searching through their old vinyl collections for those rare and expensive gems

[Izb1 in reply to soulboy118]

Wow this lot brings back memories, Lazing on sunny afternoon, the Kinks I think. Must buy a record player, I still have the original Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young lp, as they used to call it.

[Hacienda]

Came out at Last The Sun has arrived in Nottingham, Off in to The Garden " The Sun has Took its hat Off" Hip Hip Hip Hooray, Now that is VERY Old. xxxx BESOS

[soulboy118]

It's always nice to have a bit of " sunshine after the rain " ( Elle brooks) enjoy the free vit d x

[Hacienda]

Well, Must say, I have a Nice Tan, it turned out so hot and the garden Lawn has been Cut, Flowers primped, Tomato Plants Revitalised, All While I sat with my Vino and Watched Hubby. I did make Lunch. I'm not a slave Driver. Chuckle. xxxxx

[Comino2]

"I can't stand the rain" [Ann Peebles] xx

[soulboy118 in reply to Comino2]

Against your window ? Is it bringing back memories 😀

[HungryHufflepuff]

youtu.be/bEeaS6fuUoA(Not working as expected?)

Well it was cold and wet here, and this song isn't especially about the weather but it always lifts my spirits, it's such a great song that somehow exudes sunshine 😊

[Phil40 in reply to HungryHufflepuff]

‘Ain’t no Sunshine when she’s gone ‘ is one of Bill Withers and although kinda sad it’s ORSM I know I know I know I know I know, I know I know I know I know I know ain’t no sunshine when she’s gone and this house don’t feel like home dum mm dum mmm dum dum

And it turns out it really is a singer not a duck illness. Bill Withers that is. Boom boom

[AndrewT]

The Sun has got his hat on....Hip, Hip, Hip Hooray….. Sun, Sun, Sun, Here it comes.... Dancing in The Sun, Sun, Sun.....Just three more, without really thinking. How about Son of my Father, different sort of Son? 'Sun Arise', in the Morning....there are 'Hundreds'! Not to mention, our Dear Lord, The Son Of God.

[Phil40]

‘Lazing on a Sunny Afternoon ‘ by the Small Faces (not sure actually title or band!) Tom Jones did a good version with someone (I think. Font of uncertainty this morning I am) .

Hot in the City; Billy Idol and ‘Hot town, summer in the city, back of my neck getting dirty quickly...’ no idea who that was. Starts ; dooooooda. Doooooooda!

I am loving these memories. Was playing some VINYL records the other day. Blues Brothers; Made in America; Joe Cocket: WALHFMF; Stones; 1st hits album (Satisfaction etc) ahhhhh huddle crack scratch happy days

To clarify; the aforementioned ‘crack’ is one of the noises the record player makes, not the modern version referring to the evil drug ‘crack’. Which is very very nasty and evil.

[AndrewT in reply to Phil40]

I know what you mean about...erm, hang on....yes...quite..erm...oh yes 'Uncertainty', that's when you can't decide about....where was I? Oh yes Uncertainty, that's it😋

Seriously though Phil, we ALL get days like these- cue Car Crash in Tunnel-where we can't remember 'Diddly Squat'. The day Started 'Well', at least the Alarm went off...on Time! However, it didn't last, did it....You either put your foot, in the 'Go-zunder' or Caught it on the Wheel/ Leg of the bed. Either way, not a Good Start, the Hot water (HOT water, what a joke) had some 'Stuff', in it- didn't smell too bright either did it? Come to think of it...Just what 'On Earth' is Down the Loo? (not to worry, you will be Showering soon, you can 'Go' in there....) Couple, all this, with a 'Doggy' Kettle, Burnt Toast and a Car that won't start......Just go back to Bed, it's Safer!

Have a Good day Phil....Best Wishes

[Treewade]

Mr blue sky is one o my very fav songs ever xxxx

[AndrewT in reply to Treewade]

He's 'Up There Waiting'....😋

[Phil40 in reply to Treewade]

Mr Blue Sky is at the beginning of the Guardians of the Galaxy 2 film. Fitted in really well to the pretty comedic fighting of the enormous monster opening of the film. Actually, I advise everyone to watch every one of the Marvel Universe films ( the recent Avenger/Iron Man/Hulk there are about 20) It will improve your quality of life. Especially Scarlett Johansson. Forget the films. Just watch anything with Scarlett Johansson in,

[Treewade in reply to Phil40]

Oh my gosh got em all recorded on sky and pre ordered end game yup I’m waiting so no spoilers please lol it’s in magic roundabout too lol sooo cool xxxxx

[Phil40 in reply to Treewade]

Waiting to see Endgame and have mostly avoided spoilers too!

Apparently Scarlett Johansson is filming a Black Widow prequel this year. Which I am looking forward too. But I think I have seen everything else that she has been in. Sad but true. Don’t tell my wife or I’m a dead man

[Treewade in reply to Phil40]

Lol I’m a thor gal myself lol unfortunatly hes well spoken for I’m same I love to rewatch them all new Spider-Man looks like it’s going to be good too xxxx

[Phil40 in reply to Treewade]

I can’t blame you for liking Thor tbh, he has got it all going on, looks, totally stoked body and great sense of humour. Ragnorak has to be one of the best action/comedy I’ve seen. The director is Taiki Waititi or similar, also plays Korg the rock guy. An extremely funny Kiwi. And Cate Blanchett! Wow! I am such an Avenger’s Nerd don’t care

[Arch74]

I'm walking on sunshine. Such glorious sunshine is coming.

[soulboy118 in reply to Arch74]

It's already here

[ScouseTaffy]

🎼🎶🎵🎶🎶🎵 Didn't we have a lovely day the day we went to Bangor

[soul-123]

You are my sunshine forgot the rest oops Valpolicella just kicked ooosh bad spelling CHEERSX

[AndrewT]

You are the Sunshine, of my Life, you will be forever beside me (I think that's how it 'Goes'). Son (shine) of my Father...Ok BIT of a 'Stretch' perhaps 😋. This might, very well, have been mentioned before but....Sun Arise, in the morning....(not quite 'Sunshine', but still) Dancing in the Sun, Sun, sun...

By the way soulboy118...'You are my Sunshine, my only Sunshine, you make me Happy, when Skies are grey, You never know Dear how much I Love you, please don't take my Sunshine away'.

'Let the Sun Shine, Let the Sun Shine In, The Sun Shine in', from Hair, great Musical, mostly 'Happy' but with a VERY sad ending😢.

Ain't no Sunshine, when she's gone....I don't know the rest, someone?

AndrewT

[soulboy118 in reply to AndrewT]

You can check all lyrics on Google AndrewT , b4 Google I found most records I'd been singing along to I had been singing the wrong lyrics lol

[AndrewT in reply to soulboy118]

Dear soulboy118,

Then there are 'Those' where you sing, the wrong Lyrics, on Purpose....Spare him his life on his PORK SAUSAGEE (Bohemian Rhapsody), for example. Just One Cornetto, after THAT advert. One of the Conductors, of- I think- The Royal Symphony Orchestra, was Playing 'The Nutcracker' to a group of School Children and realised that he had a Chorus 'Going On'. "Everyone's a fruit and nut case..... Others include 'Vitelite' for the Israelite, and sometimes just a piece of music- think Hovis, for example.

The Power of advertising NONE, of us, are affected at all are we? 'For Mash Get Smash', NONE at all 'A FINGER OF FUGE IS JUST ENOUGH, TO GIVE YOUR KIDS A TREAT' NOT in the least! I can't remember a single Advert from my youth, I mean, can you? No definitely NO 'Glass And A Half, In Every Bar' 'Only The Crumbliest Flakiest Chocolate, Tastes Like Chocolate Never Tasted Before' 'Do The Shake And Vac And Put the freshness Back'.....NO NOT ONE ADVERT!

Is YOUR Memory, this bad too?

AndrewT

[soulboy118 in reply to AndrewT]

I sometimes think I was in an alternate reality where song lyrics were concerned but it's fun to realise soooooo many others were singing their own versions of song as well
