Red roses for a blue lady<br />2. Where have all the flowers gone<br />3. Flowers of Scotland<br /><br />I think there are many more and it takes time to recall them.

Those days the world was rosier, sprouting with goodness and cheer after the terrible aftermath of the Second World War so we have positivity flying around. People hug and kiss each other and FLOWER POWER was in and the hippies went hip:<br /><br />Tiptoe Through the Tulips<br />Roses Are Red<br />San Francisco (Be Sure To Wear Some Flowers)<br />Flowers for Mama<br />Crimson and Clover<br />Rose Garden<br />Yellow Rose of Texas<br />Roses are Red<br />The Rose<br />Run for the Roses<br />You Don't Bring me Flowers<br />18 Yellow Roses<br />Paper Roses<br />You Don't Bring Me Flowers Anymore.<br /><br />This list will never end.<br />Cheers.<br />ANDY: Pop Music Not Pills. ©https://www.blogger.com/profile/10946638825812052608noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3574244939174327228.post-22613741864555339862019-11-10T10:40:17.546+08:002019-11-10T10:40:17.546+08:00From THE TEEPEES to DARA PUSPITA, another power ba...From THE TEEPEES to DARA PUSPITA, another power band from the 70's. <br />But check out what powers they and the other sweet ladies have. <br />And all because Ms Yen Chow drew a flower during her art class. <br />Cheers.<br /><br />Andy Young <br />Thanks Rose, Ann and Ser Kiong for some flower power.<br /><br />Freda Hanum <br />Yes I've heard of this Indonesia girl group, Dara Puspita, good and popular too at that time, but cannot remember exactly where, maybe on TV.<br /><br />Andy Young <br />Thanks Freda. They have recorded a good number of songs.<br /><br />Freda Hanum <br />Yes Andy and I remember I admired their dressing too.<br /><br />Andy Young <br />PUSPITA means 'flower' in Bahasa Indonesia.
