The Michael Berry Joe John dials died on this day seven years ago at 71

Better known of course as jay guile and chalk this one up as another of the bands that you know by the name of their lead guitarist

and not their lead vocalist, which of course you know was, you know, was, you know, people know. So this song is released in September of, in February of 82. It hits number one. It's their 10th album. By a 10th album a band has made it or hasn't. The difference

between this album which was called Freeze Frame, and the nine before it.

You can't believe it's the same band.

It's like Fleetwood Mac.

They're just hanging around, hanging around and pop.

Jay Giles Band was that moment.

In 1982, I was 12 years old or I would turn 12 that year.

Let me tell you something.

In 1982, the skating rink played a big part of my life.

And I'm not going to bluster. I'm not going to exaggerate. I will not

extenuate the matter as Thomas Payne said. But I could not skate backwards. Does it still bother me

today if I'm honest yes. Because if you could skate backwards you could couple skate

and look into her eyes. If you could not, not, you were holding hands.

Skating the same way. It's the same way you did it six years old.

If you were skating, holding hands facing forward, I just, I'm being

honest, you weren't a man. You were a 12 year old who was not yet a man because the little kids were doing that.

And God help you if a little 8 year old boy was skating backwards with his little 8 year old girl.

Gosh!

But I like to think what I lack in Braun

make up foreign brains.
