[dakkos]

loves the songs of our local groups of the 70's , used to go to their concerts then ...

[robbink57]

wow...thanks guys for all these. Didn't realize OC was posted in You Tube. Seems I've been in the mountains...but that aside, it's really cool to get back to these songs of the 70s. We used to jam around with Mamy Blue; Far Away Now; etc. Thanks OC for being a part of our memories....

[keithyoong]

@robbink57 Still not too late to realise. Yes YouTube is the place for ppl of our age group. So, why not OC, The Strollers & the like ? Yeah, jamming, cycling to school, listening to records and the transistor radio ..... sounds familiar. Thanks for dropping in.

[nidroonima]

Udin, Iwas at thier concert in Penang at Dewan Sri Pinang ,Ithink it was after thier recording in Amsterdam, they came out with an lp World Hits,I,ll never forget when the band was performing Smoke On The Water someone in the audience light a paper everyone panicked ,the show stopped for a while but luckily the promoter continue the show ,what a show ifelt lucky to be there

[keithyoong]

Thanks for sharing your experience. I hope they caught the spoil-sport.

[cliffsonic]

I did also attend their concert in Miri City Hall in 1974. They perform a lot of song which are not recored in their Studio albums. For your account I owned all their LPs ranging from Surfers, October Cherries, Jade & Pepper, Truck, Funkgus & AJL Band. I am so in love with their music, I went to all four shown then. Other than their hits like Butterfly, Beautiful Sunday and Chart hits in Holland "All things works.., Non LP 's Cover like Shambala, Can T Can & Shambati , Totally Great show.

[HPlow]

didn't recognise the title but when I played it I soon remembered the song which was No 1 during my time

[keithyoong]

Good for ya, HP. Same here, the title didn't click at first, but the line 'Sitting alone on a haystack.... " brings back everything. Great song.

[Funkymojo]

Hi Keith can u kindly send me songs by OC? I'm a good friend with OC's drummer Richard Khan, it'll be nice to burn their songs on a cd and pass it to him, Thanks

[khandrum]

@Funkymojo hehe I'm usually called by my nick "bib" with the cherries but I've moved on now to the Gingerbread guys viz Moses and Gabriel Vadham performing nightly at the Filling Station a power trio

[tsdentist56]

Thanks Keith. Man you really bring back memories.Please keep in coming.

[keithyoong]

Simon, thanks for dropping by. Yep, I shall be putting up October Cherries' "Something I like about you" soon. Will keep you posted.

[malayamusic]

[keithyoong]

Great stuffs, eh ? I'm glad you saw this. All these great bands will come full circle as fans see them again here on YouTube.

[dreamflier]

Keith, you are really something! This song is also on October Cherries's It's a Beautiful Day album. I've found the cassette tape (minus the cover!)and would send it to you in due course to play around with. i regretted not buying the CD.

[Rockyzaz]

Good job,Keith.Now I can enjoy all these great songs on Youtube.
