The Days of Punk Rock and Street Sounds

There was a day when punk rock was my thing the rawness and energy of the music really stirred up within ready to rebel giving your all the focus that makes you kick Then every Wednesday night on the local radio 'street sounds' was the name of the game which played all that was the best of punk the DJ encouraged writing about our lighted frame Enjoying our music best on a live set watching concerts was the real thing at my local Apollo, I booked my seat seeing and hearing made the arena ring These days music was on tape mail order got you a great deal free t-shirt and postage were so great plus the great music, what a steal! These are great memories to remember those days really made you rock still can hear these punk sounds so fresh and street-wise, so don't mock! (Remembering life in the mid to late 70s and what made life tick musically, hard to believe that now I'm a classical fan but indeed life changes in its many circles.)

Love this ride down music history lane Gordon ! It brings back memories for sure . So much energy during those times . Classical music is wonderful too . I love Concierto de Aranjuez, by Juaquin Rodrigo. My father used to play it on the stereo at night after my sisters and I had gone to bed . Blessings, Susan :)

Wonderfully reminiscing in the musical past of raw energy of rock. I am sure many will relate to your thoughts of that period, Gordon.
