It's 106 miles to Chicago, we got a full tank of gas, half a pack of cigarettes, it's dark... and we're wearing sunglasses. |

I did see an up and coming band at Ewell Technical College though called Graham Bond Organisation and was captivated by their magnificent young ginger haired drummer. I suppose that in hindsight one of the most memorable concerts that I went to in the early sixties was at Cheam Baths where they covered the actual baths with wooden floorboards and Dave Clark Five were singing their latest hit Glad All Over accompanied by our foot stamping.
