• Bob Jackson from Plano, Tx.I'm 75 yrs. old trying to go back to my teen and late teen years of living. My teenage years had to have been some of the most enjoyable, happy, carefree of all times living in the late 50's to mid 60's. It was a time unlike now that you could trust almost everyone. You had several close friends hanging around
  and always had something to do. I graduated from Borger TX. High School in 1966. I along with my brother and three other friends formed a rock band
  named "Chicago Fyre" from summer of 1967 to fall of 1969 when several members had to go back to college.
  
  The drug scene started slow in 1968 in the Panhandle of Texas. The drug of choice was marijuana and alcohol. Marijuana use increased 10-fold over the next few years. Don't know how or where the kids got the stuff. As time went by more and more people (males and females alike) started smoking the stuff. It was not long after that cocaine started being the drug of choice. After that it's been going downward every since than with harder and more dangerous drugs came along.
  
  That's a little history about drugs when they started becoming more and more popular, especially with college aged students.
  
  So, playing in that R & R band, I learned a few things like playing was for fun only. I knew that I didn't want to do that for a career. Like I said, it was for
  fun and the experience only. I was the lead singer, my brother played the drums (quite well, I might add), we had an organ player, a bass man, a lead guitar, and rhymin guitar. Of course. we thought we sounded pretty good, not perfect but good enough for people to dance our songs. We played alot of
  top ten hits from i960 to 1968. I always regretted that we never had anyone to record any of our music.
  
  So #2, I find if I'm having a down or bad day, to get out my old vinyls to help turn things around. It always works for me to get back to a more positive
  frame of reference. Because my love of music of all kinds of it, sometimes my old memories button is pushed and an old school comes to my mind. Thruss,
  for just only a few words to the song and I type them into google and wham-O there is the song sometimes with full lyrics. For this song "She's About a Mover", I typed in with this statement "hey, hey, hey, what did I say" and the song came up. If you can remember just a few words, you can get the whole song. Most of the time these songs just surface on their own, out of nowhere.
  
  Hope you can or start to go back when and relearn and relive all those great memories in old songs.
• Paul Osman from Liverpool, EnglandIronically on the list this song is next to the Beatles *She's A Woman", which is a clear influence on the SDQ song This song came out a year after the Beatles song yet borrows the shuffle rhythm. Still a good toon in its own right.
