What happened to the Songs from your Era thread?

[Blue Suede Schubert]

redwhiteblue was referring to how two of her favourites, Steve Gilpin and Garry Dowling both passed away about a year apart from injuries in car accidents. Funny it made me reflect when James Matthews our centre from 1992 who died in a car crash on Christmas Eve 1992.

Ok I think I get it all now. Just to clarify, Garry Dowling passed away March 5 1983, Mi-Sex released the single Blue Day in February 1984 (nearly a year later) and Steve Gilpin passed away on January 6 1992. As it turns out I was on holiday in Byron in December '91.

As for James Matthews, I was in the US when that happened so I didn't find out till I returned home about a week after it occurred. He was a fairly handy player and goal kicker from what I recall.

No problem mate. We did get to the bottom of it eventually. It just took a little digging.

It's funny you post that song as I mentioned being in the US a few posts back. I travelled on the Ventura Highway (also known as the Hollywood 101) a number of times and every bloody time that song came into my mind.

ABBA after almost 40 years of not recording any new music and it was like they had never been away, it was one bright spot in such a lousy year.

[horrie hastings]

The new album is a triumph.

[eddie]

Yay, you've resurrected the music thread.

I should like abba, but I have an abba phobia...................it stems from growing up with a sister who owned a cheap record player.
That and a black and white telly were the only luxury items in the house.

Unusual for me, but this song is brand new.

Great pairing Eddie. I've been reading up on this collaboration a lot in the music magazines.

I found it by accident after playing all of my love by zeppelin....................it's good stuff.

I'd forgotten all about Suzie Q as well.
