Most of us still remember Maypole dancing, the old flag, the Austins, Vauxhalls, the British atmosphere and of course the coronation of Queen Elizabeth. Warm fuzzies still effect many of us who remember how it used to be. At the same time much of the entertainment from America still influenced us.
We sang Home On The Range and some of us even wore Davie Crocket hats, growing up with that Philco, Admiral, RCA, or Westinghouse seven-teen or twenty-one inch screen in the living room. Thus a bit of musical reflection.
Tony Bennett and of course, ‘I Left My Heart In San Francisco’ and we can envision those cable cars, just listening to that tune. ‘When the moon hits your eyes’ to the Dean Martin show we go and ‘Three coins in the fountain’ we remember Sinatra’s distinctive croon.
Of course, the chairman of the board singing Paul Ankas ‘My Way’, all those giants of entertainment we never forget. From Patty Page singing ‘How Much Is That Doggy In The Window’ and Teresa Brewers ‘Put Another Nickel in that Nickelodeon’.
They still put us into a time groove, you bet. We likely remember what we were doing when that song was number one. Our ups and downs, where we were in life’s routines. What we lost, what we won. Hear them today and many “yesterdays” say hello, it seems.
