    Takes me back to the days of The Rude Awakening on 94.7 Highveld Stereo. I remember how Jeremy Mansfield had immense respect for this song and Garth. May Jeremy's Soul Rest in Peace. Those were easy days with Sam Cowan, Paul Rotherham, Harry Sideroupolous, Darren Simpson, Graeme Joffe and later Bongani Nxumalo. I remember every Joburg Day, this would be their signature song. O' How The Years Go By...Thank You Garth for this Masterclass a True Love Song from South Africa 🇿🇦 ❤...20/12/2023; 06:14
