    Thank you Mackenzie for these clips...they are wonderful. We took a couple trips to England (including London) in 1967 and 1968 while my father was in the US Air Force stationed on Crete for 2 years (driving a Chevy Malibu that still had the Texas license plates on it that we had brought over)...I was 11 and 12 years old and have digitized the precious 8mm film he shot at the time...and the Kodachrome slides...almost look like they were shot yesterday. If I had been just a little bit older, I would have been more appreciative of how beautiful the girls were at the time.
    p.s. - unlike many others here, I like the soundtrack you included...it helps keep the segments lively and moving!

    Firstly I must say that this vid is wonderful - thankyou. I was 17/18 when this was filmed & I had been working in St Mary Axe 2 years prior for less than 4GBP per week! Out of which I was paying train fares & money to my Mum. However I did have a lovely Mateus Rose girlfriend & we tried to dress in the lastest gear - usually from C&A. Historically 'times' are always tough for those that do not 'have enough' to meet their desires. I never have been wealthy but have always looked on the bright side with true Hope in the Lord.

    Simply wonderful, thanks for sharing a great video. I used to shop in Take Six in Carnaby Street and often was stopped for an autograph by some girls thinking I was Charlie Watts... I Swear I haven't changed a bit since and I am not on statins! :))

      Ok, just to prove that there was little resemblance to Charlie Whats, here's a link to a short video which I will delete once seen... but it is true that I used to be asked for autographs in Carnaby Street ... God knows who they thought I was. :))

      Hi Nick, you are not wrong but can you play the drums? Nicely shot, what camera did you use, very wide lens.

    • @NickTodaro009
      @NickTodaro009 6 лет назад +1

      Ha ha, I thought so. I don't play drums or any other instrument . The video now deleted was shot with a Nikon D5300 camera and Samyang 8mm lens.

    Thank you so much for posting, this is really interesting and lovely to watch! As someone born in '98, it's really weird (but also kinda nice) to feel so nostalgic for a time so long before I was even born! I don't really think the music suits the footage though, just a personal preference...

      Hi Erin, I'm glad that you enjoyed my movie, music is always a problem with RUclips as I cannot use copyright tracks as my videos are moneytised with ads so I have to find a free Royalty free track and the choice is very limited.

      You feel that way because so much of today's "Modern World" was born then. Everything was original and new for the very first time, no "remakes" of anything. The fashions, furniture, and sports car designs still look new.
