Bits and Pieces Dave Clark Five 1964
One of my earliest memories is me sitting in the back seat of our Ford Consul banging the seat singing "All my pieces bits and pieces". Watch the colour film of them doing it. Atlantic Tunnel and WFMU did an interview today with one DC5's key songwriters Ron Ryan who wrote this song, here. Very interesting. Wiki on the song
When the Queen came to Frome in 1966 (2nd June)
I remember this. I was 6. My Mum and big sister are in this photo. Peeping in the middle. My little brother was born a week later so my Mum was heavily pregnant. She was on the council that's why she was there. Me and my Dad were on the other side of the road. My Mum was later in life a Magistrate (Justice of the Peace). Pic from Frome Museum.
Roman Holiday (1953)

Bought an Audrey Hepburn box set today. Second hand but irresistible. Watching Roman Holiday a story about a princess who takes up with a newspaper man (Gregory Peck). Wiki Apparently the film that launched scooters to the world. Apparently was popular in the UK where Princess Margaret was involved with a commoner giving the film a timely boost. Trailer here.

I thought I would search this blog to see what I had written about the Queen but all I found was this post from 2007"Like this image of the Queen on the back of a Rolls-Royce armoured car or is it just me? Article on the vehicle "
Raga Rock
From the wiki. I must admit that I did not know this term existed till a few weeks ago.
"Raga rock is rock or pop music with a pronounced Indian influence, either in its construction, its timbre, or its use of Indian musical instruments, such as the sitar and tabla. In addition, rock music from the 1960s and 1970s that incorporates South Asian musical influences and instruments, along with Western ideas of the Indian subcontinent, is often regarded as raga rock.
Since Indian influences in popular music are primarily limited to the 1960s, most raga rock recordings originate from that decade, although there are examples of Indian-derived sounds in post-1960s rock and pop music"
Listen to one of the earliest examples - the Yardbirds Heart Full of Soul here
