That one song...

Way, way back, when we were courting (do people still say that?) we would spend a lot of time on Blackpool Pleasure Beach (Google it). It was free to enter back then, as one could pay for only the rides one wished to use. The one place we enjoyed sitting was a food court called the Magnolia Café. It had a balcony where we could watch the River cave boats sail by and, above them, the Gold Mine runaway train would clatter past. In the background, the same music would play on a continuous loop for the River caves ride. Sadly, there is now an entry charge, which prevents people from just walking through and watching, or eating and drinking, as we used to. Besides, I have heard that the café no longer exists, and the Gold mine ride has become something else.

Today, almost 45 years later, I discovered what that music was, and wow, the memories came back like it was yesterday!
