Title: A thread that will mean nothing to anybody except Ken and me ...
Post by: uwe on February 14, 2011, 11:50:32 AM
This forum has a tried and trusted, albeit sad tradition in failing to realize the magic that was Strappps ...

I didn't know that TV footage of them even existed. Nice Ric sound too. And what a handsome chap Ross Stagg (singer, guitarist and chief songwriter) was! You'd never know he was Australian really. Aussie Roo'n'Rollers generally look like people that play in AC/DC or - worse still - Airbourne (ducking from the boomerangs ...).  :mrgreen:

Good grief... has the down-turn in business hit your profession, too...?

Nice find... ;)

Did some digging and there's quite a bit of stuff to look at (Curses, that damned German has found my Achiles heel... ;D)

Don't forget that (local to me) Mr Underwood had quite a bit of a track-record both pre and post Strapps, not to mention the multiple links in Pete Frames' DP family tree...

 Don't forget Herr Moderator that I have the only copy of a Strapps disc on U.S. shores! Courtesy of you  ;)

She just liked the cover of the first Strapps album me thinks ... That kind of appealed to her.

I never could figure out what was going on in that cover shot - that's a left boot... :o

Save when involving furry rodents, your imagination leaves much to be desired, Ken!
