I noticed that it’s been a couple of days since I wrote something here. Usually, I have a few things to talk about. Mostly, it has to do with getting good deals online or at the store, saving money and the pain at the pump that is a constant problem. Today, I am sitting here trying to come up with something to write and it just is not happening. Writer’s block is something I have dealt with before on another blog that I have. But here, this is an unusual situation. And I am certain that it will not stay this way but for now, I am blocked. Nada. Nothing happening. Sigh.
Perhaps I could give you a touch of the old time stuff. I love to share music, especially for the Boomers. That might work.
I found one that I know is really old since it was out there when I was in high school. That makes it the 60’s though I do not have a date on it. The singer is Marcie Blane. And by the way, for those of you who have no clue what that round thing is…it’s a real record on a turntable. Yes, there really is such a thing as a turntable. The song is “Bobby’s Girl”. Hope you like it.
Yes, I did like that song then. Kind of like it now too. It wasn’t all sad. That makes it okay for me right there.

I found this brand new tee shop on the net! I wanted to mention it to you since I love t-shirts, especially one with a good message. My preference is for Christian and faith based tees so these are going to be some of my favs, I already know it! They have awesome messages. Lots of tees to choose from.
So, time to check out that brand new shop online, it’s Followmetees.com to get those really great tees. Hey, if you can’t find your size other places, this place has it. They go from adult small to 3X in a variety of colors. I love it!!! So will you.

These guys were on several shows in the 60s. I recall them being on Ed Sullivan and other variety shows. For a while, they were everywhere on the tube. I really liked their music. As always, my parents really did not like the songs or the sound because they grew up in the days of classical music, big band era and all those show tunes that meant so much to them. But my music was more from the 50s and 60s so I craved the faster songs like Do You Believe In Magic? by the Lovin’ Spoonful.

This group has been around a long time. I love the sound because it was so different in the 60s. After all, a guy didn’t sound like a girl, right? But Frankie Valli was not afraid to do the unusual. And it worked!! They showed up on the top twenty on our radio station rather often. Now, here are Frankie Valli and The Four Seasons singing Big Girls Don’t Cry from 1962.
As always, if you like what you see but you want more of these singers or others on here, please leave your requests in the comments box. Thank you!

As a teen, I loved the love songs, of course. Every girl dreams of a guy in her arms even if it’s only the guys on the record at the time. I fell asleep every night to the songs on the top twenty list on the radio. But there were a few groups or singers that stood out for me. These two guys are like that. So, here are the Everly Brothers singing All I Have To Do Is Dream.
If you like other singers or groups and want them here, please let me know in the comments section. Thank you!

I first saw The Beatles on the Ed Sullivan Show in 1964, it was just the thing that my parents didn’t want to watch and I most certainly did!! After I saw the show, at school, I found out that girls all over the school knew the names of all of the “Fab Four” plus all sorts of other stats about them. I had no idea who they were until that night on Ed Sullivan. Here are the Fab Four singing I Want To Hold Your Hand.

Having thought about it, these guys did some of my favorite tunes for the 60s, 70s and 80s. They are still out there singing their tunes and enjoying the fans. We watch the older television series quite often. Full House had the Beach Boys on and the cast of Full House sang with them. I think it was Kokomo at the time. But we do love the Beach Boys! This is Surfin’ USA.
I think I will give you a two for one today. Can’t get enough of the boys, can you? So, here is I Get Around.
If you have any other videos you want to see, as always, put them in the comments section.

I grew up listening to rock and roll and country music all the time. It wasn’t easy because in those days, they weren’t doing “crossover” music much yet. But, I could find the ones I liked a lot on the radio at night nevertheless. I think one of the funniest songs Johnny Cash ever did was the one called “A Boy Named Sue”. When I first heard that, I laughed myself silly. Of course, these days, it’s just as funny to me as it ever was. Here ya go:

Roy Orbison has been a favorite singer of mine for many years. I cannot recall the first time I heard him but I was already a fan by the time the first song was over. Roy was a huge song writer having such hits as “Crying”, “Candy Man”, “Dream Baby”, “Working for the Man”, “Leah”, “Pretty Paper”, “Blue Bayou”, “Mean Woman Blues ” and “It’s Over”. Then in 1963, “In Dreams” became a hit. After that, Roy toured England with the Beatles, who were unknown at that time in this country. When Roy went on stage that first night, he had 14 encores before the Beatles could go on stage themselves.
Here is “In Dreams” by Roy Orbison:

It was the year that I spent some time traveling. I was out of high school and found that I could not stay at home nor could I go to school again for a while. So, traveling was the choice. Having roped my best friend into traveling around the country, we set off to find our…whatever it was we were seeking. At the time, we visited some carnivals because they looked so exciting…for a couple of grape-headed girls, I mean. We simply had no idea about anything. The rides at this one carnival kept playing this song over and over again. That’s it for the nostalgia for tonight.
This is Johnny Rivers singing “Baby I Need Your Lovin’” on the Ed Sullivan Show in 1967.
If you are looking for a specific song, group or single singer, please let me know and I can try to find it. You do not have to be a boomer!
