Thanks.<br /><br />Stephen Han<br />I remember seeing the “Rock Around The Clock” movie at the Rex Theatre. There was also a Rock N Roll dance contest. The competitors showed their dancing skills on two parked lorries while the judges sat right in front. I saw the movie “Rock Rock Rock” where Frankie Lymon performed.<br /><br />Andy Young <br />Thank you, Stephen. I saw RATC only when it came to Roxy.

I was 14 yrs old then. <br /><br />A few years later, when I was 19 or 20 yrs old. I was at the Sea View Hotel for The Dale Carnegie graduation party. I remember being selected to introduce the guest of honour who was the Commandant of The Indian Air Force. How I wish I could go back in a Time Machine. <br /><br />Cheers, <br />Andy!JOHN CHER FACEBOOK (DRUMMER SILVER STRINGS, FACEBOOK, WRITERnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3574244939174327228.post-83488263797282583382018-01-18T10:47:16.941+08:002018-01-18T10:47:16.941+08:00Yes ...Palace, Roxy n Odeon Katong.

Cliff Richard too was learning C, F, G7 chords on his guitar. John Cher, of course, was already playing his drums (below).

They cost much more now. That's why some people are upset when S Road closes next month.

I still love attending concerts - though some can be prohibitive for the wallet. I've only got LPs and EPs with me (and cassettes too). <br /><br />It is a shame about Robinson Petang - such an icon to be lost (hope a committee can overrule the decision soon but hope they dont charge the vendors rent too!<br />EDMUND AROZOOnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3574244939174327228.post-40604041011270659082017-06-27T14:37:08.161+08:002017-06-27T14:37:08.161+08:00Yes Odeon Katong

The moment Bill Haley appeared and started belting out the song "Rock around the clock" the whole audience stood up, clapped their hands and gyrated to the music of rock and roll. I enjoyed the show so much that I watched it no fewer than 3 times. Thanks Andy for the nostalgia.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
