My IT work day is over and I want to add my Thursday Afternoon Music Interlude with a song by the Little River Band with their song "Reminiscing" I hope this one bring you all some great memories...
LYRICS:
"Reminiscing"
Friday night, it was late
I was walking you home
We got down to the gate
And I was dreaming of the night
Would it turn out right?
How to tell you, girl
I wanna build my world around you
Tell you that it's true
I wanna make you understand
I'm talking about a lifetime plan
That's the way it began
We were hand-in-hand
Glenn Miller's band
Was better than before
We yelled and screamed for more
And the Porter tune (Night and Day)
Made us dance across the room
It ended all too soon
And on the way back home
I promised you'd never be alone
Hurry, don't be late
I can't hardly wait
I said to myself when we're old
We'll go dancing in the dark
Walking through the park
And reminiscing
Friday night, it was late
I was walking you home
We got down to the gate
And I was dreaming of the night
Would it turn out right?
Now as the years roll on
Each time we hear our favorite song
The memories come along
Older times we're missing
Spending the hours reminiscing
Hurry, don't be late
I can't hardly wait
I said to myself when we're old
We'll go dancing in the dark
Walking through the park
And reminiscing
Writer(s): Graeham George Goble

Thank you, my friend Sgt (Join to see) for posting the music video of Little River Band performing "Reminiscing"
Sad news that this once talented band devolved ….
Song background "This romantic, nostalgic song finds a couple reminiscing about their past, recalling favorite songs and memories. It seems to have worked out very well for them, as they are now older but still go dancing in the dark, walking through the park and reminiscing.
There are references in the lyrics to a Glenn Miller concert and to the Cole Porter song "Night And Day." this places the timeframe in the early 1940s, indicating that this romance blossomed about 35 years earlier. The kids are probably all grown up with families of their own.
This was written by Little River Band guitarist Graeham Goble, who along with lead singer Glenn Shorrock and the group's other guitarist, Beeb Birtles, was a primary songwriter in the band. Goble was a very focused writer and rather meticulous, which didn't always sit well with Shorrock but resulted in some of their biggest hits; Goble also wrote "Lady" and "The Night Owls."
"Reminiscing" was part of the band's fourth album; they released one every year from their founding in 1975 until 1979, with each one more successful than the last. The hectic pace and personality clashes took a toll though, and Shorrock was ejected in 1981, replaced with John Farnham. The hits dried up a few years later, and in 1985 the band broke up. They returned in 1988 with Shorrock, but never got back to form. By the late '90s, all original members left the group, giving up their rights to the Little River Band name in the process. Guitarist Stephen Housden, who joined in 1981, took control of the name, leading to legal squabbles in the '00s that worked out in his favor. Shorrock, Birtles and Goble started recording as BSG in 2002."
