Such a Lovely Way – The Groop
The Groop brings back memories of spending school holidays at my Auntie’s Farm at Diamond Creek. She always had the radio on and the station always played Such a Lovely Way.
Breathe – Pink Floyd – from the album The Dark Side of the Moon
When I was a kid, I was skateboard mad. I used to sit on the front porch with my cassette player and I’d play Pink Floyd as loud as the unit would allow. I would skate up and down Arden St in Kensington for hours on end. I eventually wore the tape out… haha sad day for me.
Run Run Run – Jo Jo Gunne
Eighteen with a Bullet – Pete Wingfield
Tighter and Tighter – Alive and Kicking
Happy Without You – The Strangers
Flower Garden – Nick Lampe
Double Barrel – Dave & Ansell Collins

It Came Out of the Sky – Creedence Clearwater Revival – from the album Willy and the Poor Boys
Tin Soldier – Small Faces
Lucy in the Sky (with Diamonds) – Elton John
Crunchy Granola Suite – Neil Diamond
Get Down and Get With It – Slade
As a kid growing up in a very poor area of Victoria, and being in the city, the kids would meet on a Friday night under the high rise flats in a community hall and dance to any local band that was willing to play. During the breaks, a DJ would pump out Slade, T.Rex and other chart topping tracks.
