Rod Stewart - Maggie May
Rose to Number 1 in the charts October 1971 and shot Rod Stewart to fame. Lots of memories come flooding back with this one, October I joined the army, never before had I felt so lonely and homesick, here I was stuck in a strange place, with strange people who just wanted to bawl and shout and you all day. Over the weeks that passed you relised these strange people werent as bad as you initially thought, as you felt yourself getting fitter and stronger, as your self discipline developed, nothing they could do and say would bother you. You were a SOLDIER, you were on level terms with them now.
The nights because you werent allowed to go out of camp was spend in the camp NAFFI, normally just for a quick 30 mins break from polishing boots, pressing uniforms.
As I look back at this period of my life with fond memories Im sure this was the only song the NAFFI jukebox had on
