I thought you must have been referring to those wind up gramophones where there was no electricity available. With those you give Perry Como a well deserved hurry up.

I thought you were referring to Robbie wanting to get out of his contract - I won't sing along with that

The countdown series was enjoyable to watch the music bought back heaps of memories, J O K absolute Aussie legend along with Billy Thorpe then throw in Slade, Status Quo, Suzie Q, the Bee Gees, taste in music changes with age I find didn't like Elvis much but now enjoy his music, same for Rod Stewart and Elton John, still can't warm much to Whispering Jack, give me Normie Rowe instead. The old rock and rollers like Buddy Holly, American Grafitti, Chuck Berry, Happy Days….....

Loved the Drive In primarily went to either the Oxley Driven In or Tivoli Drive in

I too made the well-thought-out move of buying a Sony Beta player. Flip is right, they were far superior but died in the market.
We went to the drive in every week - usually Dundas or Bass Hill.

I can't remember my first movie but like Flip it was probably a western. I remember many good things about the drive-ins though went to Chullora, Bass Hill, Fairfield mainly, they used to sell delicious banana fritters and cream plus ice cream. Drive-ins were also popular when first got a drivers licence and taking girlfriends there to enjoy the movie so much so, also remember falling asleep a couple of times and being woken up by an attendant banging on the Windows- a little embarrassing especially with the windows fogged up….....

I used to go to North Ryde drive in and the one at Dundas alot.
I was there one night at Dundas, in winter, parked about 6 cars away from a Cortina that had a sun roof.
Looked like a scene from Cheech & Chong movie, " Up in smoke ", :roll with a different smelling odour pouring out of the sun roof.
Once the movie finished, the vehicle engine started, vehicle drove off, I heard a loud cracking sound.
They forgot to wind down the window and remove the speaker. It was lying on the ground as well as the bit of glass it broke off from the window. Everyone around the car clapped and cheered. :laughing:

Everyone is remembering the big ones - that's good.
Just a thought - anyone remember Australian band "The Nomads" with Gus McNeill up front, used to do a lot of gigs around - had a hit called "Good Times."
Also Jeff St. John and the Id - one hit was "Big Time Operator"
Both these bands used to play at a venue called "Martin's Place" in of course Martin Place in Sydney. Used to have telephone on each table and you could dial the number of other tables to asked a girl of your fancy for a dance. Ahead of its time and was a good night out. Those were the days.

Ha ha - me too - I even had a portable one - had a strap so you could haul it with you on holidays. I remember a mate of mine showing up at golf once with this new idea - a mobile phone - it was in a shoulder bag and ran off a battery - it was as big as a brick - peed myself laughing that anyone would come up with such a stupid idea!!!! Music - was in to most 70's stuff especially heavy metal and prog rock. Being a westy would spend most weekends at War and Peace in Parramatta - great venue. Saw Led Zeppelin at the Showground. Saw Black Sabbath at Hordern Pavilion with Ac/Dc as support band. Saw most overseas bands at either Hordern Pav or Randwick.
