I got my first real six-string
Bought it at the five-and-dime
Played it ’til my fingers bled
Was the summer of sixty-nine
Taken from the Bryan Adams song Summer of ’69, from his fourth album Reckless (1985)

One of my favorite songs.
It’s odd. It didn’t even make the top 40 here in the UK but pretty much everyone knows it. A great song. And one of those you recognise within 2 seconds. And he’s still going strong.

I’ve always had a soft spot for Bryan Adams. Heaven, Run to You and Cloud Number Nine are other gems. One of his songs was number one for 16 straight weeks here btw.
Love him too…crazy how you know all the details tho 🙂 about music & movies
Ha. I checked before I published. But it’s funny how there are songs like that. Heroes by Bowie is another. But people loving your songs is worth more than any chart position.
True 🙂 chart position comes & goes, but love is forever :))
