2 for the price of 1

As I have no internet or telephone at home for the next few days, I thought I would give you 2 songs today

Rock your baby - George McCrae



This was released in 1974 and brings back memories of hanging around the fair that used to come to Llandudno every summer, loitering around the big wheel and the waltzers.
Anyone else remember that? Well maybe not in Llandudno, but at another fair somewhere.
We thought we were so grown-up at 13/14 didn't we?

Next one:

Hotel California - The Eagles



This was released in 1977 and reminds me of my mis-spent youth in Llandudno, in the Old Hall. A disco (as it was then) that we used to go to. I think this was one of the first songs that I learnt all the words to. Isn't funny how once you start to think about things, the little things you remember -
a bottle of Pils (used to think that was so sophisticated and boy was it strong), the clothes and shoes we used to wear, how did I walk in those shoes! and last but not least the music and the dancing. I used to come off the dance floor sopping wet having danced my heart out - sometimes round a pile of handbags.
Don't the memories just come flooding back. I would love to hear yours.
