Lying on top bunk bed with radio on, waiting for an old episode of The Goon Show on the radio - the news came on first....

Just finished listening to a newly bought Animals by Pink Floyd.. after a girl at College scratched my copy. News came on at 10pm... I then switched onto John Peel Show.
As Nottingham was the place for the Elvis Fan Club... I hooked up with some Rockers and we took to the streets.. Some danced at a local Dance Hall - out on the street.

I'm in the crowd outside the Palais and Bali Hai Club.

I do recall - shortly before Elvis's death, Bing Crosby had died.. and some fella had painted on a city wall:
' A Bing will never Die'
Later.. some Graffiti wizard nipped out with a pot of paint...change the B to a K..
'A King will never Die'
