Ciarki czuje jak słucham i oczywiście wspomnienia
rodzina w pełni świat stał za zasłoną.
Dziś prawie wszyscy są po drugiej stronie. Pewnie wrócę tu jeszcze za 10 20 30 może 40 lat ..
Ach ta nostalgia😍

Mike Vickers to postać bynajmniej nie anonimowa dla osób interesujących się muzyką rockową. W latach 60-tych był gitarzystą i saksofonistą w grupie Manfred Mann ( czyli w pierwszym zespole Manna). Wszyscy chyba kojarzą hity DO WAH DIDDY albo 54321.
Był także jednym z pierwszych muzyków angielskich, którzy kupili sobie syntezator Mooga.
