On leaving school in 1960 and thru my Teens....Bobby was one of my favourites........Reckon i had most of his records.......those early 60s there would be a Party nearly every week with my old 'School-mates''....and the songs of Bobby Vee were always in evidence..... He sadly passed away from Alzheimers disease at 73....... -

A mature lady sitting on a bench eating a bag of ''Chips'' which she put down on my request for a Dance......which we both enjoyed....she asked'' if i came here often'' ?.......... Then a couple of nice ''Bump into's'' from old school friends....and thats always nice......
