Grocer Jack...



Senora O'Blene once gave me a compilation album of sixties songs, and this one was included!

Somehow, the gorgeous, iconic intro always brings a lump to my throat, as around 1967, all sorts of things were beginning to happen to a budding Scrobs, and much of it was down to listening to songs like this, and often trying to play them on a rather old second-hand guitar!

    Yes songs from our youth can bring a lump to the throat. Too many memories sometimes.

    A great song and a perfect example of how evocative a good tune can instantly be.

    That's spot on, Thud!

    Another iconic start is Video Games (Lana Del Rey)!
