Oh time to slap on the 1210s, look what > you've gone and done! I'm getting excited. Nurse! > Sorry I tend not to get out much... Totally agree with everything you have said, Cupid. The opening bars of Sir Dennis Brown's 'How could I Leave?' is the only song capable of stopping me in my tracks sending a tingle of emotion and memory down my spine. I suspect most of us singing the virtues of this particular genre and era of a similar age and like to be reminded of our carefree youth! Hence, I'm going to the BT dance on Wednesday to hear all these great tunes around like minded people. Anyone else going?
