Decades of Music!

[Keith Margetts]

Awe shucks Diana, thank you . . . it is a mere 32 years ago that I turned 21 without much fanfare in my parents home - I still have the photographs of you!!

It must be the quitest 21st, unless we went to the Pondock to listen to some good music, and have a few drinks.

Best regards,
Keith.

Don't you guys think that no matter what decade or "culture" you came from, us Oranjemunders perhaps (1) started drinking at a young age? (2) Drink a lot?

Okey dokey.....In no particular order......

i) Penny Lane - Beatles (listen to the bass line.)
ii) Mandy - 10cc (if you don't know the song then....??)
iii) Selling England by the Pound - The real Genesis.
iv) Midnight Diamonds - Cliff Richard - (go on laugh, I don't care - brilliant song)
v) Sylvia - Focus (Pete knows this one. Pretend you want to watch rugby at his place and he might even play it for you......)

Oh, just one more........

Boys are Back in Town and Dancing in the Moonlight by.....Ouch......

(Kenny lets out a small scream as Heather whacks him over the head with a small meat cleaver and let's him know in no uncertain terms that his time is up and he really is the weakest link..........)

In no particular order, these are the records I most remember when I was in OM from 55 - 66.  The Twist came out in the early 60's which was very popular but remember when the Beatles came out in the 60's they were very much frowned upon.  Long -haired layabouts.  Then they made the statement that they were probably more popular than Jesus Christ and their records were banned from the South African airwaves.

My Old Man's a Dustman - Lonnie Donegan (I knew all the words, but because a lot of it is Cockney rhyming slang, never understood a word of it!)
Speedy Gonzalez - Pat Boone (my first single!)
Lucky Lips - Cliff Richards
Batchelor Boy - Cliff Richards
Apache - The Shadows
Let's Twist Again - Chubby Checker
Twist and Shout - The Beatles
Wild Thing - The Troggs

Remember this is late 50's early 60's when music which was allowed was very tame.
For some unknown reason I was a fan of Cliff!  And he's still going strong.

I know that Jim Reeves used to be very popular.  He made a film in Kimberley called "Kimberley Jim" and his popularity was sealed.  But no, he isn't on my list!

As a kid, I always sipped the froth from my old man's Windhoek Export (dumpies with dark blue label) but never took to drink until I was 19 or so. Living in a pub does that! Like working in a chocolate factory.

Anyway, Anne has listed some of the music I listened too. I also got into LM Radio from really young and was heavy into the Stones and Beatles. David Davies' Sunday Hit Parade. Go check this memory out at my blog: http://iscatterlings.com/lm-radio/
