One of the first two records l ever bought (Good Vibrations) was the other. l bought them for about 2 shillings each. l also got to see him play live, just after the Easybeats returned from a tour of England, at the Blind Institute Hall, in Mowbray St. (IIRC) on St, Kilda Rd. That would have been in 1969 or 1970. A good show it was too.

It was the Belgian Beer Cafe, when I worked opposite.

Admittedly it was 14 years back.

You still ended up blind.

Fats Domino, the amiable rock ‘n’ roll pioneer whose steady, pounding piano and easy baritone helped change popular music even as it honored the grand, good-humored tradition of the Crescent City, has died aged 89.
RIP

Ain’t That A Shame?

I was obsessed with the history of rock/pop when I was a kid.
So obv, Fats.
Kids these days don’t seem to care. And I kind of get that. A bit.
The fifties are to them are what the twenties were to me.
But still…

9 years…avoided all that.

Worst was a little seppo shortarse lay teacher who loved trying to humiliate kids from the higher forms. Heard later he’d died of AIDS.

I thought the other bloke sang ‘Epic’? Mosely sang on 'We Care A Lot".

[hellsbells]

That is exactly what i said Diggers. You read my post too fast … He was there BEFORE Epic .
