Love Of My Life - SWALK

While driving home after dropping my girl to tuition, I put on the Bee Gees CD and the first song at random was Melody Fair. When the song was playing, it brought back my childhood memories... I was only 11 when the movie SWALK was shown in Lido cinema and you would not believe how many times I watched this show!

I was Crazy... I WAS and still Am at times... I watched this show more than 10 times!! I was REAL Crazy... over SWALK.. over MARK LESTER... over TRACY HYDE... that was my first movie which made me fall in love with Mark Lester.... I thought I was.. hahahaa... (11 years old is very vulnerable to puppy love!)

I remember buying a lot of magazines like Fanfare, Galaxie just to cut out all their pictures and pasted them into an exercise book...

How I wish I still have these memoirs... they are priceless now.... sigh... all my hard work and effort... my infatuations... my dreams of going to England... all gone as years go by....

Thanks to youtube..... I can still "fall in love again" with them.... once more...

SWALK starring Tracy Hyde, Jack Wild & Mark Lester

wonder how she looks now...

I remember having this black and white pic..
on the front page of my scrap book...
How I wish ... I'm young again..
YESTERDAY ONCE MORE..

    I may be young but I grew up listening to oldies, the all time favourite of my family. Bee Gees, Beatles, Nat King Cole, Elvis Presley were my childhood companion...

    SWALK was before my time! I had the biggest crush on JTT from Home Improvement and bought dozens of those teeny bopper magazines so I could rip out the posters and hang them on my wall.

    I have never heard of this show, but I LOVE the BEE GEES!!! I have a lot of their songs, and remember buying their first album back in the 60's!!!! Since Maurice died, I guess they won't sing together anymore. I never found out if they won the lawsuit or not.

    Hi Reana, good for you having these memories. Yes, I too remember them.
    And I too had my pin ups of actresses...I guess when in our teens it was always these movies, actors that will remain with us.
    Have a nice day.
    Lee.

    Didn't you post on Mark Lester before? I had a post on this movie long ago too - I love First of May...so sad, the song.

    I saw this movie 1973 in Singapore - rerun... Missed it the first time when screened in the cinemas in Sibu - study time, weekdays...not allowed to watch movies.

    Isn't it funny how a song can bring back childhood memories?
