storm Posted August 17, 2004 Author Share Posted August 17, 2004 talking about songs heard over and over, i remember the silver connection. a friend of mine had a tape featuring only fly robin fly, which we listened to endlessly. their debut album was great...almost all cuts were played at discos. Correction lang ng konti Pareng Sally. Silver Convention not Silver Connection. Here's a little info about the group: Silver Convention German duo Michael Kunze and Silvester Levay released "Save me" in 1974 on the European Magnet label, as a DJ promo using the artist name "Silver Bird". The single was an early disco success in the UK and the artist name was changed to "Silver Convention". After scoring a UK hit in 1975 with "Save Me", they went on to reach number 1 in the USA with "Fly, Robin, Fly" (which the lyrically consisted of "Fly robin fly, up into the sky"). The international fame persuaded the duo to audition some female singers to adopt the Silver Convention name and the lucky trio were Linda Thompson (ex-Les Humphries Singers), Ramona Wulf (formerly a solo artist) and Gertrude Münzner (Penny McLean). This ‘second generation’ Silver Convention proved more than a match for their anonymous studio counterparts and achieved transatlantic Top 10 success with the infectious "Get Up And Boogie (That's Right)", one of the most distinctive disco numbers of the period. Yeah Fly Robin Flly: only six words in five minutes song! (Fly Robin fly, up up to the sky). Quote Link to comment
storm Posted August 17, 2004 Author Share Posted August 17, 2004 I remember as a young boy, my older cousins will have a party at our house and those would be the music that they'll play. Fly robin fly . . .batman can not fly . . .Kasabayan yan ng El Bimbo, Papaya, etc. Tas manunood sila ng Penthouse. Sila Archie Lacson, Ronnie Henares, Pons(?) Quirino, etc. Kaya pati ako natuto magsayaw ng Hustle. Later on, swing. Which was to be an advantage at a later age because in a lot of parties that I would attend during my teens and even in my 20s, you get a few extra pogi points if you can dance the swing. Tama ka jan bro. Marunong din akong mag-swing (we called that The New York Hustle). From 1977-80, I was one of those tambay sa Wherelse come midnight till 2am. Kapag panahon ng prom at debut ay lagi akong in-demand Marunong pa rin akong mag-swing hanggang ngayon ka ya lang di na pwede sa prom at debut. Quote Link to comment

Pareng sally! FYI na rin sa ibang mga interesado: there's a shop in Teacher's Village,QC where you can get those tapes converted to cd format. Nagtanong ako dun dati, they charge P500 yata per cd. I can check the name of the shop . . . Quote Link to comment

Iba na ang dating eh Pero masaya ako kapag napag-uusapan yang swing kasi marami akong celebrities o kaya'y professional dancers (jazz, bayanihan and ballet) na naka-swing noon at minsan hanggang ngayon kapag me reunion or party na me kasamang ballroom.

bods1000 Posted August 19, 2004 Share Posted August 19, 2004 I came upon a child of GodHe was walking along the roadAnd I asked him, where are you goingAnd this he told me...I'm going on down to Yasgur's farmI'm going to join in a rock 'n' roll bandI'm going to camp out on the landAnd try and get my soul free Chorus*We are stardustWe are goldenWe are billion-year-old carbonAnd we've got to get ourselvesBack to the garden Then can I walk beside youI have come here to lose the smogAnd I feel to be a cog in something turningWell maybe it is just the time of yearOr maybe it's the time of manI don't know who l amBut life is for learning *We are stardustWe are goldenWe are billion-year-old carbonAnd we've got to get ourselvesBack to the garden By the time we got to WoodstockWe were half a million strongAnd everywhere there was song and celebrationAnd I dreamed I saw the bombersRiding shotgun in the skyAnd they were turning into butterfliesAbove our nation *We are stardustWe are goldenCaught up in the devil's bargainAnd we've got to get ourselvesBack to the garden pareng jt thanks for the lyrics!That reminds me to trot out the guitar and play the tune again!Also hinahanap ko na naman yung Woodstock laser copy ko - the film is about three hours long pero sulit every minute of it....

Pero when I was in Milan I chanced upon these CD's containing 70's rock music and concert jams by among others Jimi Hendrix, Grateful Dead, Jefferson Airplane, Ten Years After, The Doors etc. Mga jams umaabot hanggang 10 to 15 minutes ang isang song. Parang rare collection of rare performances - bought three of them yun nga lang yung sound quality is not that good dahil hindi remastered at kopya lang sa analog pero masarap pa ding pakinggan...

I agree with you Pareng Bods. Masyadong malinis and matigas ang cd. At mas manipis ang tunog. Tapos wala pang static. Namimiss ko rin yung hiss ng open reel tapes. Kaya lang hindi na maibabalik ang panahon. Imprinted na lang iyon sa mind natin. Meron akong nakitang complete Jimi Hendrix music in MP3 format sa Virra Mall in Greenhills kaya lang hindi ko nabili. Pangit kasi quality ng MP3. Quote Link to comment

Pangit kasi quality ng MP3. yes, the sound that resonates from a vinyl disc is so very different, especially if the stylus is new. those made in the US, germany, the UK, japan and the netherlands have very good quality; even the old villar records were thick. unlike those thin and thready ones that came out mostly in the 80s. eto yung mga may PARI-label...miss those days hunting for old records at garage sales, bangkal and mcs...actually, open reels and 8-track cartridges are still used in some radio stations for fillers and ads Quote Link to comment

High fives pare! During the late 80s, madalas ako sa Kudos and minsan, naka-swing ko si Dina Bonnevie Madalas din kami sa Memories (somewhere in front of the old Ayala Museum)during that time . . .
