Was anybody on here even born

I was!

They had a lot of great songs. I probably shouldn't admit this, but in high school I had a little band. We played a few of them as well as CCR, Johnny Rivers, Johnny Cash, etc.

I still have an album or two by the Ventures.

Ah, yes, the Wind River Senate. :-)

Fast forward one generation. Ol' Sparky at one time could do a pretty rousing rendition playing drums for Wipe Out. His band teacher said he needed to learn to read drum music. Sparky didn't want to go that route, so hung up his drum sticks. The band didn't sound nearly as well after that. :(

Carter played this on his sax his eighth grade year accomplished with his music teacher on the piano. All the old foggies got up and danced.... Surprised the heck out of him.... Was a hoot....

Well that would have been a pretty special memory to make for Carter! Good for him.
 
Yeah, Glen Miller and the big bands. Wasn't there about 3 Glen Miller songs that were real popular, What were they.

I will always remember, In 1970 my Dad was in the hospital, just before New Years Lawrence Welke came on TV, Dad watched it from his hospital bed. Dad sat up and sang a few lines with him on some song. A couple of days later, in mid morning on New Years day Dad died.

Mother had told me that the last song dad sang was: "Baby Face".

What a sweet memory you have of him!
Music does seem to sink into a different part of the brain and when we hear a song it stimulates lots of memories, too. Funny how we can recall all the verses to a song or hymn years later but have totally forgotten most of what we memorized in school!
 
Baby Face may have been the song Dad set up and sang a few lines that night I don't remember. It must have been a song that stimulated his and mother's old memories. Maybe just at a time he needed it. I had always thought the song Side by Side and songs like that as the songs of my mother and father's day. Mother always liked that song way way back when we had on an old record on the old phonograph. When there were rainy days or when it was to cold to go to school Raymond and I would crank up that old phonograph.

Oh the memories. :D :D

I remember we had a portable crank model and then we had a more modern cabinet style. We have a picture of me sitting on a tall stool (Which still sits by mom's back door) watching the record go around(I guess) listening to the Ballad of Davy Crockett. :D
