Dan’s Rockabilia is my favorite songs and artists of the 60s, 70s and early 80s, from ABBA to Yes. Stuff I used to listen to in the 70s while growing up with my brothers and sisters. It all brings back alot of memories for me personally, and some of the stuff gets me going…well Energized, to be precised.
All through the day which I am sure that alot of you have the same thing, keeps you going all day.. even now i still listen to the same music… for me there is nothing in the world that can match it.
