I’m certain TQR touches himself when he hears THIS song, so come correct next time.

 

 

 

What do you mean by that, exactly?

 

No answer @Sir Creep? You’ve got as much backbone as a chocolate eclair.

[justonecornetto 947]

My dad had a chip shop and got a jukebox around 1960 so as a young kid I remember hearing a lot of these songs, the ones that stick in my mind most are Running Bear, Apache and Walkin' Back to Happiness. In amongst all the pop songs, for some reason, there were a few Blues records by the likes of Leadbelly and John Lee Hooker and I think that's why I became a massive fan of Blues music later on.
