Guitar
Man and girlfriend
I have
only to look at this tile which hangs in my hallway to remember the
60s.
It was
a time when every young man and sometime ladies as well wanted to
play the guitar. Folk singers were very popular and all the start up
bands had at least one guitar player and sometimes two. Mike and many
of his friends all had guitars and they would get together and play
all kinds of tunes. As I remember some friends were a lot better at
it than others. One friend called Ray that often came to these
musical get- togethers was exceptional. He could REALLY play and it
seemed effortless to him. I often wonder what happened to him in
later life.
When
we found this tile we had to have it. It shows a man with a beard (
fashionable)and also the very heavy sweaters that were really
popular at the time. Mike could have modeled for the artist. The
girl has long hair , a must for the time, listening to tunes on the
guitar. I think we bought it before we got married but it is one of
the things much treasured in our house.
Makes me remember being young.
A great memory of the 60's even better when you have a plaque
ReplyDeleteto take you back to that time, traditional music was popular too
was the thing in Bristol. I guess we were all lucky back in the day.
more of the get togethers and. Ot so much techno!
I remember Mike like that! What a lovely piece of nostalgia , all you need is someone playing bongoes.
