A couple of songs. My sister and me used to sit next to the radio listening to a Saturday morning children’s programme. We always looked forward to the same song. I think it was on every week…

A bit after that, we started going to Saturday Morning Pictures at the Pavillion cinema. There was always a singalong with the bouncing ball going along the words. ‘The Quartermaster’s Store’ came up quite often…

Mart, that’s such special memories! Not my earliest memory but I definitely spent a large part of my childhood recoding the Top 40 countdown on cassettes and trying to time it to ‘pause’ just before the DJ spoke. Such great memories

Absolutely Psmith! Those mixed tapes! The pencil to wind them up when they jammed and trying to squeeze in the artist and title in pencil so you could record over it if Dad didn’t have a few quid for another cassette!

Kids nowadays will never know!

Yes, he made the scene quite emotional when he had to shoot his son.

I can remember doing similar with songs in my teens on a reel to reel tape recorder. :grinning:

That ‘Quartermaster’s Store’ song wasn’t sung quite to gently at Saturday Morning Pictures. It reached a terrific crescendo at the end with loads of kids all bawling the words out. :grinning:

I’ve probably already posted this here but it’s a nice song that impressed me as a toddler :

This one from around the same time I recall and also one for our Australian members. Until now I hadn’t realised The Seekers were Australian, or perhaps I had forgotten from all those years ago!

“The Seekers are an Australian folk-influenced pop quartet, originally formed in Melbourne in 1962. They were the first Australian pop music group to achieve major chart and sales success in the United Kingdom and the United States.”

I like the simplistic harmony in it. They clean up well too. Very nice. Thank you. :grin:
