Who was she?
Funnily enough, that's one of the reasons 1979 was so 'memorable'.
In answer; her name was Virginia - 'Ginny' - someone who I'd known since 1974/75. And, yes, as per usual, I made a HUGE mistake which has haunted me ever since! In the words of a certain Bruce Welch-produced mega hit from that year... 'We Don't Talk Anymore'.
But 1979 was still an
amazing year!
About a month after the above photos were taken I discovered, and bought immediately, 'String of Hits'.
Somewhere, I have a photo (possibly, again, from '79) where I am reclining nonchalantly on my bed, strumming my new acoustic guitar. Yes, I saw myself (albeit very briefly) as a bit of a Mr Welch. Sadly, it was not to be and I ended up cutting the guitar strings in frustration with a pair of pliers and putting the now useless piece of wood up in the loft. My brother (that's him in the checked shirt in the final pic) later retrieved it and sold it to one of his friends for 50p.
Ahhh, the memories...
