In regards to an earlier post when I mentioned Little Willy being an old favourite, I started to think back a little further to earlier times and it occured to me that there was a time where music had a big impact on me as well...most notably, my first Party!
Question is, do you first of all remember your first party, or dance that you attended, and if you do, what was the music of the day that you danced to or at least had the chance to listen to?
In 1971, I recall being invited to this party which included just about everyone from our class at the the time, along with others from grade 7 and 8 as well. There were a couple of so called "chaperones" in attendance at the time as well in the form of 17 or 18 year old teenagers. They did a hell of a job I must say in at least getting us to dance whether we wanted to or not...hahaha.
Some of the tunes I can recall being played were...
Bad Moon Rising, Yellow River, Yummy Yummy Yummy, Hey Tonight, Joy To The World, Draggin' The Line, Sweet City Woman along with a host of other tunes from previous years.
This was the first opportunity that I had to dance...with a GIRL!!!...and the main reason most of us guys went to it was because we heard there was free "pop & chips"! Night turned out good though, and not only did it provide me with new found respect for music, but also allowed me to walk away with a whole new perspective of the opposite sex...hahaha!
Give us your thoughts...it's been a long time, surely you must have some tales to tell???
Thanks
Kim
