Fast forward to 1957. I'm 14 and I have to do homework, every Sunday morning, in our front room in West End. There's no way Tom Clayton, next door and aged 30 - my "boyfriend" when I was a toddler, is getting a lie-in as I do my Maths, French etc. to a musical accompaniment from my collection of 78s and it's likely to be:-
Despite thick walls between us, poor Tom is going to be wakened.

I've heard of him, Cashy, but he didn't have the looks or the voice to compete with the ultimate - Elvis. This is Elvis in 1958, King Creole. Mmmmmmmhhhh! Sorry, I've got to go and lie down!

1984 and at last I'm out in Saudi Arabia after the longest ever 6 month wait to join my husband. The Billy Joel tape is played constantly whenever we're driving through the desert because we're both music fans. I love this track because, on it, Billy evokes 1950s Rock Ballads - our era!

Yep, I remember the Toggery Five up the Con, Mr C, although I don't recall that record. Also, remember Shabby Tiger, as their bass player, Steve Pickering, was in my class at AGS.
Remember this lot - The Undertakers - at the Con? Still going strong and blasting out that rhythm & blues, as this concert at Fort Perch Rock in New Brighton shows.
