^ I have always loved 'White Horses' by Jacky, it always reminds me of the long six-week school holidays. It never seemed to be off the TV back in the 70's

I love Jacky's White Horses too, although I'd forgotten that was also the title of the TV show, which I'm just old enough to remember. Two more favourite equine themes from the same era..... Denis King - Galloping Home (theme from Black Beauty) The Settlers - The Lightning Tree (theme from Follyfoot) |

 Black Beauty is one of my favourite TV theme tunes. I had totally forgotten about Follyfoot, another very decent theme tune. |

^ Edit: now I noticed that you did I should have included this really. Although not considered as such, it kind of is progressive rock |

Hi, Heard all these in the FM dial in Madison at the time. Those were the days when you heard a lot of new stuff ... PLAYED ... instead of just listed. And as mentioned before, these were in STEREO, instead of the older AM radio that was MONO ... thus making the music a lot better for your ears. [/quote] ... The Mothers of Invention - Absolutely Free Fleetwood Mac - Albatross Bonzo Dog Doo-Dah Band - I'm The Urban Spaceman Manfred Mann - Mighty Quinn The Rolling Stones - Jumpin' Jack Flash Steppenwolf - Magic Carpet Ride Richard Harris - MacArthur Park ... [/quote] These were also in that FM listing.
------------- Music is not just for listening ... it is for LIVING ... you got to feel it to know what's it about! Not being told! www.pedrosena.com |
