Wish we could travel back in time...
Cher Oberon,
C'est vrai mais heureusement, W2 has his own time machine.
It consists of a large Talisker and good sounds - it soon has him drifting back.
Seriously, although W2 likes to think that he has remained open to new things, there was something about the quality of the music back then that stands the test of time.
Of course, as today, we had our share of dross but when considered in the round, the best was really the best. Bands learnt their craft in the clubs and as a consequence, by the time they found fame, they could really play.
A lot of people think Roxy were an instant, manufactured hit. Not at all, Ferry had made his bones playing some really rough joints in the NE and although Roxy didn't do the same, they were rehearsed to death and had Ferry fronting them.
Halcyon days n'est ce pas ?
Salutations,
W2
