Bang a Gong
Since 1932 The Rank Group opened movies with a bare chested hunk hitting a gong. The first gong banger was Carl Dane, a former circus strongman. The original gong was made of paper mache and now resides in the London Film Museum. This week my Spotify weekly pick included Get it On by T.Rex. It went #1 in the UK and when they wanted to release in the USA the name was already taken. Thus BANG A GONG became a US #1 hit. And it is now my theme song for gong workshops. We ALL need a gong.
“One day a week I seek to rest
from earthly toil and sorrow.
Revitalised, I find the strength
to battle new tomorrows.”
