They may be old, they may be more interested in old graves and wars than most people, but, oh boy, can they dance!
The week’s National Heritage Foundation symposium concluded on Thursday evening with an informal braai at the Middelburg Country Club.
And then it was Thunder!
ACDC’s Thunderstruck.
Hips of 80 years and older became loose.
Legs that had been walking around the old cemetery in the afternoon came to life.
@middelburgobserver This is how you end a National Heritage Symposium in Middelburg! Charlene Kriek of the Middelburg Chamber of Commerce and Industry supplied great video material of symposium attendees ending the weeklong programme, which included heritage site visits and academic lectures, att he Middelburg Country Club. #Middelburg @middelburgchamber @middelburgcountryclub
Thunder!
Thunder!
Thunder!
After the week’s stories of the Anglo-Boer War and blown-up railway lines, the song ironically concludes with “the thunder of guns tore me apart”.
The song’s words are:
I was caught in the middle of a railroad (Thunder).
I looked around and I knew there was no turnin’ back (Thunder).
My mind raced and I thought, “What could I do?” (Thunder)
And I knew there was no help, no help from you (Thunder).
Sound of the drums beatin’ in my heart.
The thunder of guns, yeah, tore me apart.
