  2. 🎡 RIP Freddy Cannon 🎡

    I played his 1962 single Palisades Park over and over as a child ...

    🎵 You'll never know how great a kiss can feel
    When you stop at the top of a ferris wheel 🎵

    Born in Revere, Mass in 1936, he was 89 when he passed

  6. Herb Alpert

    This Guy's in Love With You ...

    Damn he was smooth! The song was written by Burt Bacharach & Hal David. Released in May of 1968, it went all the way to #1

  7. I was talking to a bloke at one of the gigs I went to last week. We chatted mostly about jazz, but got into gigs generally.

    He said that the first gig he went to was the Beatles, with the Yardbirds as support (and Hughie Green as the MC) at the Hammersmith Odeon.

    His father took him; he was nine.

    A quick search pulls up a Christmas show in 1964.

    What a start to a gig-going career! Sixty one years of music.

  8. Howdy,

    For me, reliving what our country went through in the 60's gives me hope. I’m less concerned about Trump. Because we made it through segregation, civil rights, voting rights, deep divisions in our country and Vietnam. We put a man on the moon. If Trump does win maybe things have to get worse before they get better?

  9. Owning a fallout shelter was the ultimate status symbol in the ’60s—if you could afford it. Explore the class divides and absurdity of the fallout shelter craze. Spoiler: It wasn’t the cozy hideaway you might think. forgottenfiles.substack.com/p/ #history #coldwar #propaganda #midcentury #thesixties #war
