BruceH Posted July 15, 2008 Report Posted July 15, 2008 "Quarter To Three"---U.S. Bonds Not bad. I expected a lot worse for some reason. (The early sixties are not known as a golden age of pop or rock music.) Quote

BruceH Posted July 15, 2008 Report Posted July 15, 2008 US: The Fleetwoods - Mr. Blue UK: Cliff Richard And The Shadows - Travelin' Light I didn't know either song but after a search and listen of both songs I recall having heard "Mr. Blue" before. "Mr.Blue" is a great tune!! One of the few doo-wop ballads that I actually like. Quote
GA Russell Posted July 15, 2008 Report Posted July 15, 2008 (The early sixties are not known as a golden age of pop or rock music.) I completely agree. But don't tell Paul Secor that! Quote
porcy62 Posted July 15, 2008 Report Posted July 15, 2008 He’s A Rebel - The Crystals Ah, why am I not suprised? Quote
mikelz777 Posted July 15, 2008 Report Posted July 15, 2008 (edited) US: The Fleetwoods - Mr. Blue UK: Cliff Richard And The Shadows - Travelin' Light I didn't know either song but after a search and listen of both songs I recall having heard "Mr. Blue" before. "Mr.Blue" is a great tune!! One of the few doo-wop ballads that I actually like. It kind of makes me feel older than my present mindset knowing I was born in the doo-wop era. My sister-in-law isn't much help. Once we were talking about ages and she had one of those clarity/realization moments when she looked at me aghast and said, "You were born when Eisenhower was President!!". My sheepish response, "Yeah, well..uh... it was kinda near the end of his last term...". Edited July 15, 2008 by mikelz777 Quote
Free For All Posted July 15, 2008 Report Posted July 15, 2008 "I Love You" by Bing Crosby Cole Porter and Der Bingle. Not bad. Quote
Jazzmoose Posted July 15, 2008 Report Posted July 15, 2008 "You were born when Eisenhower was President!!". That sounded really old. Until I realized that I was as well... Quote

Chuck Nessa Posted July 15, 2008 Report Posted July 15, 2008 "You were born when Eisenhower was President!!". That sounded really old. Until I realized that I was as well... Me too. I remember when Harry Truman announced he would not run for a third term. Quote
catesta Posted July 15, 2008 Report Posted July 15, 2008 US = 96 Tears - ? & The Mysterians UK = Reach Out I’ll Be There - The Four Tops AUS = Step Back / Cara Lyn - Johnny Young + I clicked on the ad with the two chicks in bikinis. Quote
Shawn Posted July 15, 2008 Author Report Posted July 15, 2008 I just went back and checked the Australia chart for my birthday: CCR - Up Around The Bend That helps heal the "Carpenters wound" a little bit. The British chart was an Elvis tune, so I did my best not to pay attention to that one either. Quote

No, what really gives you the feeling of "old" is when you do the math and realize that by any reasonable standard you're closer to the day of your death than you are the day of your birth. Kinda puts you in the mood to let go of the shit that keeps you from being happy lest you spend the rest of your days in unnecessary misery. Quote

Now if I could just figure out how to actually accomplish it.... Quote
