A story of romance
Still in Spitalfields, still the same old excuse, this scene reminded me of a folk singer I heard back in the '70s. All I can remember of him was that he was part of Max Boyce's backing band, but was a hilarious performaer in his own right. He specialised in spoof songs, like the poor baker growing up in New York - "In the Gateaux", or that song of romance as a roadie - "that's when I fell for... the packer of the leads".
These girls were packing away after a public Salsa dance class/performance.
(for those that hadn't worked it out... it was to the tune of the Shangri La's "Leader of the Pack"

post a commentShame never heard either of those tracks.....I particularly like the sound of "In the Gateaux"
I worked it out, Ham...oh the memories. Salsa? I LOVE it; wish i'd been there to see that. Did you dance?
Having spent two years as a rock n roll roadie, this picture brought back fond memories of loading out at 1am and waking up hundreds of miles away from the gig...oh and the memory of the aching back.
I was looking for "Packer of the Leads"... haven't found a copy, but at least I'm not the only one that remembers it...
