Old music is like a time-warp I reckon.....can take you back to the *exact* moment when a particular song was heard, or a memory of what you and your mates were doing at the time.......as a perfect example here is a song I will never forget hearing the first time....I had just moved into my first flat as an 18 year-old, having left home for the first time. My flat-mate was a good mate from school, unfortunately his girlfriend was in Year 10 at the local high-school just down the road....
- and she used to bring some of her friends around to our flat. One Sunday night, one of the chicks had this small portable radio-cassette player ( about as big as a box of Cornflakes ), and she says ' heh listen to this, I got it from my friend who just flew in from England yesterday....' - well we had never heard of this band, but they ended up being a signature band of the early 80's in every way......its impossible not to hear this song and be transported back to mid-1980, with a heap of schoolgirls in our flat, all bouncing around to the weirdest music we had ever heard of.....back then !
