Every time I hear their sound
A smile comes to my face.
So once more I went back,
Went back to the seventies.
Head bobbing,
Feet tapping,
Memories becoming alive.
Such a wonderful rock group,
Status Quo.
They could bring me
From the deepest gloom
Into the light of rock.
Strumming their guitars
In such a way
That I always knew it was them,
And that smile
Would always be there,
Back from the seventies.

Good write Gold.
Thanks Orchi.
Sixties soul music does the same for me.
That's the beauty of music so many types to enchant us all.

Good Morning Uncle Andy ! We regret we were not around in the golden Era of Rock & Roll but SQ do have there place in the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame. We guess each Group & Artist was born *Out of the Time* and had a special contemporary significance which our Parents & Grandparents confirm. Thanks for caring & sharing.
Blessing & Pace to You & Yours
Love Angela & Brian 💛💛💛💛💛
Thank you A and B. As you know music and musicians go on forever.

The original 3 chord wonders
Good to see you writing Goldfinch
Those 3 chords took them, and the Beatles before them, a very long way. Thanks peto.

You sure know how to entertain yourself.
I surely do, opera one day, rock the next and probably jazz today. So much music - so little time.
