Music changed by the time my wife was born, and color was invented by then as well.

Music was so much better in the 60s. And sideburns were incombarable. I felt nostalgia (although I remember better tunes between 6 and 12 years old, from Sex Pistols, Dire Straits, Boney M, Rolling Stones etc,  myself I was into Hard Rock from my early teens, Deep Purple, Black Sabbath, Led Zeppelin etc, mucic from the late 60s and early 70s mostly) and made a complete investigation.
3 of May 1968. We had a junta  here but Paris and Prague were upset and Vietnam was full of surprises. Boston Celtics and Panathinaikos ruled and Milan and United win the European Cups. The two most prominent Greek female stars give birth to one boy each, in the same hospital my mother gave birth to me, as she recalls, making her believe that I would be someone special. She proved wrong.

UK

USA & AUS & CAN!

GER


For my wife, born almost a year later.

My #1 of May 1968 (recorded then, released later)
