      I inherited Dad’s Hot August Night LP when he passed away in 2019. Well I claimed it anyway!

      • When she was young and a teenager mylittle Sister used to have a horse who she took everywhere the park shops even had him out the front of the TAB a few times we even got him in to Randwick races one Wednesday afternoon His name was Shilo He is long gone now but every time she puts a pic of him on social media I always respond with this link. The song reminds me of being a kid

        • Was a quiet patch at work today and this song popped up on my IPOD, the first song off the latest ABBA album, i had a tear in my eye that this song was the first in 39 years from the group and clarity and emotion in Frida's voice was just magic.

          • This played a bit later, ABBA's biggest song in Australia back in the day, 14 weeks at number 1, it really made a rod for their back, the repeating of the song eventually led to ABBA's demise commercially in Australia, after Fernando even though they were still popular, none of their songs reached the height of number 1 again and there was a definite back lash against them.. It really is a almost forgotten track where other tracks still get air play on commercial radio. Hearing it today i thought it is still a stunning song.

            Fernando.

                  • This morning made me think.
                    I had to opt out around lunch, and spent the arvo in bed. Part of my battles.
                    But as I struggled before tablets and sleep came to the rescue..........I was hearing songs. Dire Straights or Neil. Andy was right in playing a song again if you want to.

                    So I thought of an idea to revamp the thread a bit.
                    Every Saturday one of us takes turns to select a weekly theme!
                    We don't have to stick to it, but it makes you think.
                    Heck, I'll do it on my pat malone if you's want.

                    tomorrow I'll start.
                    EVEN USING BOLD TYPE

                    man, I remembered how to do the bracket slash thingy................is that impressive?

                        Sorry mate It actually makes me laugh as during lockdown last year when this song played a did a stirring rendition of it at home not long after coming home from the shops changing the words and chorus to The 1st time ever I saw your mask which had people laughing Probably had to be there but it was pretty funny

                              You’re not wrong there Horrie. I remember Fernando being number 1 for months! A great song but yeah I suspect people got sick of it and there was a bit of a backlash against the band.
