Guest Posted August 24, 2016 Report Share Posted August 24, 2016 Boston. More Than A Feeling,I'm guessing '76- takes me back to a very serious girl. Met her at the religious retreat centre in Ambergate, Crich.It was a week off school- we did Rhyber Castle etc.. My Mum bought me a Bush cassette player,this song echoed those times- her family were very well to do and were moving to Kirby Bellars. Thyphoo tea,abbey crunch biscuits and a battered Transit- all against a backdrop of one song..Schultz was and is a top guitarist. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
loppylugs 8,429 Posted August 24, 2016 Report Share Posted August 24, 2016 Back in 63 when I met my late wife "Then He Kissed Me" was on the charts. I think it was by the Crystals. The thing was that it described our experience almost to a T. Sometimes it would come up and we'd get a smile over it. Made us feel warm and fuzzy. Anyway in 1990 we got our second dog. He was a Colly / Husky cross. We called him Sam. He was a beautiful dog but we think he had some Wolf in him. As a pup he was quite happy to nip you. So our song got changed to "Then He Bit Me." Crazy happy days. 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mary1947 2,079 Posted August 24, 2016 Report Share Posted August 24, 2016 When I first met the master every pub we went in seemed to be play Da Do Ron Ron and of cause his name is Ron. When we married in 1965 where ever we went pubs/ transistor radio/ six five special / or maybe Top of the Pops. always seemed to have "The Wedding Song" by Kathy Kirby we could never get away from it, maybe I should have had it played at our wedding. 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Posted August 26, 2016 Report Share Posted August 26, 2016 OK you've figured that a song ' clicks'with me and puts me in a certain place at a certain time This song puts me in a place I never wanted to be in...or ever again!! The School Dentist on Clarendon St.A cruel ( woman?) who probably got the boot from Riga for being too rough! This Eastern European with a white smock and a hair bun-made little mo look like Mother Theresa. The shrill of that ancient drill powered by the pumping of her left foot! Thumbing thru' dog eared editions of Buster or Beezer and the japes of Colonel Blink did little to distract me from impending doom. Jimmy Young waffling on the wireless and playing ' Oh Babe What Would You Say'. Hurricane Smith and Dentistry- forever forged in my memory. Norman Smith produced Pink Floyd's first LP.

benjamin1945 16,160 Posted May 25, 2017 Report Share Posted May 25, 2017 For those of us that sometimes moan about word games etc,.....thought it might make the 'song association' one a bit more interesting by being followed on a different thread by a memory of that particular song..........i'm sure we all have nostalgic memories of many songs.............'Hello' for instance reminded me of taking Donna to meet my family for the first time,at a get together in the 80s.............and as a certain Uncle passed us on the Dance floor 'Hello'' was playing......and he repeated it to her each time.................just a thought...... 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
crankypig 457 Posted May 25, 2017 Report Share Posted May 25, 2017 Got to get you into my life...Cliff Bennett and the rebel rousers Reminds me of the first time I went to the sherwood rooms, The group were playing there. I was having a great time until...my older sister spotted me,she had gone there with her boyfriend . I knew I was in for it cos when we got home she told mam. ( I was under age to be in such a place snogging lads) I couldn't weedle my way out of that one. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Cliff Ton 10,466 Posted May 25, 2017 Report Share Posted May 25, 2017 Just for info........the thread which Benjamin started has suddenly become very long because I've merged it with one started by Katyjay many moons ago which was on the same subject. Carry on. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Cliff Ton 10,466 Posted May 25, 2017 Report Share Posted May 25, 2017 And now I'll add my own contribution. In the late 1960s I often used to go with my dad to watch Stock Car Racing at Long Eaton stadium. Before the racing started, and in between races, they played records over the tannoy system. The one I always remember hearing there is 'Death of a Clown' by Dave Davies, and whenever I hear that song I'm back at LE Stadium. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Oztalgian 3,293 Posted May 25, 2017 Report Share Posted May 25, 2017 Cliff Ton That song reminds me of the opposition fans at the Stags singing "Let's all drink to the death of Mansfield Town" every time the Stags were in danger of relegation, which was all too often.

NewBasfordlad 3,599 Posted March 28, 2018 Report Share Posted March 28, 2018 That song took me straight back to the late 60s, Devonshire Arms at Hartington folk club, every Wednesday night. The lady on my lap, that was before she threw the engagement back at me. Saw Ewan Maccoll there one summers night, he had popped in for a beer and heard the singing, his rendition of The Shoals of Herring brought the house down. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
BilboroughShirley 1,120 Posted July 13, 2018 Report Share Posted July 13, 2018 This memory amuses us. The song is Paul Simon: Duncan. The words: Couple in the next room bound to win a prize ........ We had a cabin on the overnight ferry from Shetland. Our son was very young at the time and sound asleep in the bed next to the wall. The couple in the next room ..........The noise was loud! I was ready for the questions if he woke up. My story would have been "I think someone is feeling unwell. Don't worry about it". He did not wake up. Years later I told him the story and now we all have a laugh when we hear Duncan! Also now when I hear Pentecost mentioned I think of Duncan! Paul Simon is brilliant. Saw the Graceland concert at the NEC. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
FLY2 10,108 Posted July 24, 2018 Report Share Posted July 24, 2018 Don't think I've ever met anyone with only one taste in music. I'm certain most on here like a good variety of genres. Pilot made a couple of good pop songs. It's Kajunus btw. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Saw Ewan Maccoll there one summers night, he had popped in for a beer and heard the singing, his rendition of The Shoals of Herring brought the house down. Well old Ewan wrote it.. so he ought to have done a decent version. I like that and many of Ewan's other songs.. They remind me of being in the house with Mum and hearing the 'Radio Ballads' which McColl produced and broadcast around 1960. McColl was a fine singer, but I believe he was also known as something of a 'Folk Fascist'.. having very rigid views on what ought to be seen as 'traditional' folk. However, whenever I hear 'The Shoals of Herring' now.. I'm reminded of a scene in the TV series 'Flambards', which was set during WW1. At a 'Harvest Supper', the family entertain a German P.O.W. who is detailed to work at the farm. During the festivities, they sing 'The Shoals of Herring'.. 40+ years before it was composed.. Ooops!

philmayfield 6,134 Posted July 29, 2018 Report Share Posted July 29, 2018 We used to go to the folk clubs back in the 60/70’s. The Rutland Arms at Newark, the Wheatsheaf at Cropwell, and the Reindeer at Southwell. Never had the balls to get up and sing myself although I could play folk guitar back then but only for my own enjoyment! Had some great times and much ale was consumed! 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Drifting a bit off topic here Kev, but I used to go to Long Eaton regularly. More early than late 60s though. We used to cycle down the boulevards from Bestwood Est. and arrive early. We'd sit outside waiting for the gates to open and eating our butties. We also went to Belle Vue odd times. It was quite 'do able' by bus from Buxton when we were camping there. Also went to Brafield in Northants.. and Brandon in Coventry, which I believe are both still active venues. Couple of names I recall. Albert 'Tiger' Griffin and Ellis Ford.

Willow wilson 894 Posted July 29, 2018 Report Share Posted July 29, 2018 Babyface by Little Richard and Mona Lisa by Conway Twitty always remind me of my Saturday evening visits to Long Eaton in 1959/60. Transport courtesy of Barton from Nottingham. Before the racing started they ran a single-car-fastest-lap run-what-you-brung competition which was always won by a little Goggomobile. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
loppylugs 8,429 Posted July 29, 2018 Report Share Posted July 29, 2018 The Goggomobile brought back a funny memory. When I was dating my first wife. Somebody on their street had one. One day I said to her. That's a Goggomobile She was sure I was winding her up and just had to go over to look at the nameplate. I'll never forget the look on her face when she saw I was telling the truth. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
catfan 14,793 Posted July 29, 2018 Report Share Posted July 29, 2018 And I thought this was a wind up, never heard of the Goggomobile before so looked it up ! 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
