[@TeacherEric173]

This song holds a special place in the hearts of many in my country and was even used as the theme song for a beloved movie called "Bagets", which centered around the lives of teenagers. It reminds us of the simpler times of the 80s when life was less complicated and free from the chaos and issues of today. Back then, gadgets were not as advanced as they are now, and we spent our time playing outside with friends and neighbors. In the Philippines, electricity was a luxury that only the wealthy could afford, and televisions were not yet as colored as today. We cherish these memories and hold them dear to our hearts.

A cool, steady-driving tune......I STILL dig it just as much now as then. Any of you guys in the band reading this.....weigh in! God Bless us all! PS: don't you younger guys and gals fear "70". Tain't nothin' to be fearful of....just keep fighting for your health and you've got my solemn word......you'll STILL BE ROCKIN' every bit as much as you used to back in the day.
