I’m not what you would call an Abba fan but they are my occasional ‘guilty pleasure ‘. RIP

My daughter was introduced to Abba in Mama Mia and Mama Mia 2. If you don’t know, it’s a musical that only uses Abba songs.

ABBA put out a lot of very good pop confections but I’m not recalling any guitar lines that grabbed me.

70 used to seem older than it seems now. RIP dude.

One of my many guilty pleasures would be Air Supply. There. I said it!
The choir at the end of “Out of Nothing At All” is outstanding.
