Mid-Seventies Rock & Roll Remembrances  

lol, thanks, Ellie, it's the 'having seen some of your posts and I would say you definitely are' that makes me giggle like this, I love it. Yeah, it was very cool that he wrote in my journal and said what he did. I've often thought about what might have happened if I had snuck out of Dusty's room and gone into Billy's that night. But I believe that things work out the way they're supposed to, it's nothing I dwell on. I'm so glad you enjoyed this one, darlin, I'll tell you another one soon, I promise. XXX

I used to live with one of the original Mersey beat crowd who was famous in the 1960's with the Beatles in a band called the Foremost whose best known hit was 'Hey Little Girl' and they after leaving Apple set up their own studio in Shaftsbury Avenue London, Porkie Prime Cuts and you will see that etched onto records like Tainted Love by Soft Cell but that is another story. The one I will share now is my pool match against Sir Bob Geldolf who was in fact an arrogant git back then (BoomTownRat days) but I beat him as my dad has his own games room complete with snooker table so I was good. He really didn't like that at all. This was at the Arlington Heathrow Hotel at Heathrow as the band were due to fly out to Germany the following day. The other band members thought it was hysterical that a girl had beaten him and me and Johnny Fingers complete with his PJ's got absolutely trashed at the bar. Funnily enough I was at a concert at Guildford Civic a few months later and he picked me from the crowd to kiss and I pushed him away jumped up on stage and gave Johnny a big hug and kiss instead. Decandant days eh! Ellie :D

Hey Annie - You're over 40 now ain't ya! LOL Nanananana! I knew the day would come when you would feel the nostalgia of your youth! ROFL
You know I love you and I'm just yanking yer chain! Hugs.

Yeah, I like being older now.

You taught me well, sweetie. You taught me well.

And by the way, I LOVE WHITE RUSSIANS, so COSSACKS, fine. I'm sure that is one I CAN drink, too. Well, a little anyway, with a J. I'll be good.

Told ya, P1key, you have to come here for a visit, so we can all get together.

Oh Spark, it IS one of life's little miracles! Man, what a trip. Oops, I'm slipping back into the vernacular! So there you were, pretty much the same place as me, but you had a much more important and vital job than I did, taking those photographs, I think. But still, it was indeed parallel, wasn't it? And here we are now, typing to each other, from sooooo far away, sisters in spirit, kindred souls, tied together somehow, Spark, you and me and I so love it. Shite, I'm getting all teared up right now as I type this. I just feel so much for you, that doesn't say it right, I feel YOU, Spark, I guess, I just feel you. I'm so glad you're here. The big here, not the little here. You know what I mean. You always do. XXX

Passing the kleenex, --- Yes I know exactly what you mean! Hugs.
I've set up a folder on my computer for these stories of yours. So I'm letting you know now that I'm copying them. And one day before you can blink I will print them out, gather up my own from the time, meet up with you and over a few bottles of whatever you drink and a grand couple of days, we will share our stories, fill in the details and bond at the heart in the flesh! Yep, uh huh, you betcha!!!!

I should buy stock in Puffs. So you're copying them, are you? Wow, ok. I don't have any problem with that at all. In fact, I'm extremely flattered, thank you.

And I drink white russians, although p1ke gave me a new name for them today. I was telling him that I have to break in all the new bartenders to make my drinks exactly the right way, the Shelley Russian, very strong, not foo-foo, not in the least, they'd give a horse pause. He called them Cossacks! Ha! I love that! So, I'll drink Cossacks, you can drink wine, and we will howl into the night, arms around each other, heads together, laughing, crying, talking, talking, talking, and when that day comes, I'm going to be so happy I'm gonna float right off the ground, yup, levitate. Come here before you go to England, ok? Then I can give you kisses to give to p1ke. Nah, that wouldn't work, would it? Ah well, I'll kiss you anyway. I am now. XXXXXXXX

I love the idea of your kisses coming via Sparky Nova. But I'll have to get to you, or you'll have to stow away in Sparky's suitcase. I want to taste those sweet kisses for myself too.

I love white russians, so Cossacks it is! LOL
P1ke, prepare yourself to lick me sweetly in some pretty warm and wonderful places, because if what I'm feeling now is nova's kisses, YOU are in for the lollipop experience of your life! LOL

O boy P1key. Are you ever a lucky boy. Did you hear that? I did and I'm taking notes.

Annie.......................

Yes, p1key, you DO want to taste those sweet kisses for yourself. So get your butt here, mister!

Sparky, if you think my kisses feel good, just wait till you get your bullet!!!! And btw, very, very sexy comment, my dear. Lollipop! My little p1key lollipop, yum.

Take those notes, Annie, we're gonna have to save them for a rainy day.

So, cossacks it is!!!!! Everyone drink up!

I just love these moments, oh yes I do.....hic! LOL

Scorp, that's a great story!!!! Ha, you almost did it!! RIght there in front of god and everyone, too, I love it! What a memory, darlin, wow.

And you're NOT old, dammit - afer all, you were what, 5 or 6 when I was 21 or 22???? Geez, honey, if anyone's old, it's me, and I'm not old, nope, not by a long shot. I'll never be old. 5 or 6, man oh man, you've got me laughin here, geez, 5 or 6!!!!

Keep rockin, darlin Scorpiobabes, you're priceless.

I was keeping my virginity intact so I could lose it nearly a year later...with my best friend and her date nearby, humping! I'm tell ya, this guy was H.O.T.! I've messed around a lot in my day (heck, I went down on a guy in a bar parking lot under a streetlight!), and I can be shy and quiet, but when I'm horny, forget it! (and I'm only old to my daughter!)

Rosekitty, I'm so glad you enjoyed the story, thank you! Boy, talk about being in the right place at the right time - I SO was! I knew I was lucky - even then. And I was so young, my goodness, and in those days, I had an innocence that girls don't have anymore, so it made it all the more exciting, I think, for me. And I just loved the music so much, ya know? Still do. I'm such an old hippie. I'll tell you some more, I promise, very soon, ok?

Yeah, foundmyangel, he was a really down to earth kind of guy back then - I have no idea about now, but I wouldn't think he's quite so down to earth as he was then, would you? Thanks for sharing your story too, darlin, it's a good one. But I want to hear more about the Vin Diesel thing, come on, tell! ANd tell the rest too,any time you feel like it, feel free.

I want to hear the Vin Diesel story too!

And then get out of this county so I can have a few stories too...

God Darlin forgive the typos, its so late.

Angel, you're not late at all, darlin, and we ALL make those typos, so nothing to forgive. Ok - you had an orgasm when Joe Cocker sang You Can Leave Your Hat On???? Ha! Too much!!!! That just kills me, I swear, and I can just hear your hubby's voice in my head, you know I can. I don't imagine he's ever let you forget that either. But I think the coolest thing is the hug. Wow, a hug from Joe Cocker - that's something I've never gotten. I've never even met Joe Cocker, so there! Cool story, Angel. Thank you.

Well you will have to ask him:))) Joe moved me that day.

it was the music...... i don't want any one to get the wrong opinion let me tell you he was deep..... Joe

Ralphy, I've been an Elvis fan since I was a kid! I used to have his pictures plastered all over my bedroom walls - there was barely a blank space on those walls. I'd love to see Graceland too - if you ever get to this side of the world, you should make it a point to go there. I love knowing that you're such a fan of his, I think that rocks!

Mummy, it's true - I've had some wonderful experiences and met some truly amazing people, but none more amazing than yourself and certainly none more loving, generous and kind. I guess it's like comparative joy - look at Niamh, for instance and what joy she brings you and surely there's not a boring moment when she's around. That's one thing I don't and never will have - my own Niamh. But I'm grateful for what I've been able to do in my life and for the enormous gifts I've been given. My time spent in that industry certainly counts as a gift and I had absolutely endless fun with it, to be sure. So many memories to hold in my heart. And I'll share more, I've promised already to do so. Nostalgia is just so bittersweet, you know?

Aww Nova sweetheart how do I respond to that? lol Thank you sweety for all the lovely things you have said and reminding me how lucky i am to have Niamh - and her big brother who although at the icky teenage stage is still a joy when he isn't irritating the life out of me! One of these days I will send Niamh across for a holiday with Aunty Nova - you two would have a blast getting all dressed up and doing your hair and makeup! lol I think you are wonderful sweetheart - and I don't want you to share your memories if they bring you any sadness - I hate the thought of you being in pain! xxxx

If you send me Niamh, you'll be hard pressed to get her back, ya know. But I love that you even would put that thought into a sentence, thank you so much. You saw what I said there, mummy, using the word bittersweet. And it's not sad, it's just nostalgic, it's once, rarely, in the tiniest moments wondering what might have been, but at the very same tiny moment, it's also knowing that I wouldn't give up any moment after either. I know in my deepest heart that everything that happens is supposed to happen and what I have in my life now is the most incredible and blessed thing that I could ever imagine having. What is it about you, mummy, that sees so deeply into a person to bring forth this much depth of emotion? You are an old soul. A young woman, but an old soul. You must be. Ok, either that or one of god's angels. As our Spark says, there is magic in this place - miracles - milagro. You are.

I may joke from time to time that I need peace but I don't think I could bear to be parted from either of my kids for too long - but I don't mind them sharing their love around - the more love we give out the more we have to share! I thank you for saying all that about me - I may get so big headed I will never fit through the door again! lol Funny angelwhispers always says she thought I was older too! Maybe it is just I try to treat others the way I would want to be treated - maybe it is because I have such special friends who bring out the best in me! Hugs honey, great big ones! xxx

I think it's because you have such a motherly tone with people, so very nurturing and comforting, mummymo. And even your username says mother. But I know that you're a young woman, certainly considerably younger than I, but you ARE an old soul, darlin, that's so evident. And a beautiful soul too. Thank you, mummy.

I love that song too and I don't know why I think he wrote it for me, really, but I do. We just connected. But not that way, nudge, nudge. See what a good girl I was back then? Ha! Times have changed!

13 years old and catching Sebastian Bach's attention like that, my my, the apple doesn't fall far from that tree, does it, darlin? That's my girl!! And only a B cup then, too! Listen darlin, you're a beautiful woman and no doubt you were a beautiful young girl. But a party on the tour bus, whoa, I'm so glad your mom was waiting!! What a memory, Cyn. And what a story to tell! Thanks for sharing, that was great.
