Today, as it was not raining I went out for a walk to my local park lake. There is a concrete pathway there that circles the lake. A most peaceful place, where I often sit and think on one of the wooden benches there. However, today my peace was disturbed by several teenagers on bicycles riding fast past me.
In a way they made me smile, as I began to remember my Teens. I was always out on my bike riding somewhere or other. My bike was very different to theirs though, as it had turned up handle bars where I used to strap a battery operated cassette tape recorder. This I would play very loudly as I cycled down the street and into a park, near where I used to live many years ago.
At that time the so called "Glam Rock" era had just begun in the UK with bands like T.Rex, The Sweet, and the mighty Slade. Slade were often a band that featured the most on my latest home made "mix tape". Back then new songs were often recorded directly from the built in Radio. Not the greatest sound quality, but I just wanted something to play loudly, as most kids do! Even Today!

So grab your platform shoes, get your hair cut in a very strange way and listen to...
