Back To The Sixties.

Goldfinch60



What an evening’s entertainment,

I was taken back to my youth,

Back to the sixties,

The time when music changed

And here it was back.

Cliff and the Shadows were here

I knew all the songs,

And sang with them all.

I was back in my teenage years

Where my life became so wonderful.

And the tribute band took me there.

Such a wonderful evening,

An evening of fine music

And wonderful memories.

I was there in the sixties

And I remember it well,

Such great times dancing,

Dancing the night away

To some wonderful music.

So I say thank you,

Thank you to the band,

The band that took me back,

Back to that great time,

That great time in my life.

  • Comment from author about the poem: We are back on the Isle of Wight for a few days and last night there was a tribute band to Cliff Richard and the Shadows, Jimmy Jemain and the Undercover Shadows, they were terrific. The first record I bought was The Shadows, it was the first LP that they recorded in 1961 and I still have it.

    Back to the 60's before my time however cliff Richards was a staple entertainer in my home through film and music and he is still a legend today. I have a photo of my father in a crowd waiting to buy 1966 world cup tickets in Sheffield, the 60's sure were different to today. 💜 Enjoy your time on your very own love island my dear Andy and Mary

      A good set of memories Andy I have the most peaceful memories of childhood in the 50's and adolescence in the 60's with music from that era always close to my heart.

          I hope you're flying. Seafaring is not really good for the balance. But perhaps that's just me. See you when you get back🙏🕊️

            Just 40 minutes on the ferry, no problem, we have been on it many times and all has been well.
