Time is really getting 'Divided' -- and it is hard to complete things as we are now. I am going into my music more to relax my heavy head Huh

I see,Phoenix. In Germany we say you are "switching off" when you are listening to the music.

Not at all!! I am reminising about the 40/50/60s. Wishing the standards and the people of today, were more 'familiar' of how life progressed in a steady way, that was easy to understand and accept --- before any corruption!!

It was in the sixties that the German "Wirtschaftswunder" started - before there were bombed towns, no work and currency reform.
True the time of "petticoats" and Rock and Roll was a nice time, but when I think back what a lot of ironing, too.

Val that was brilliant and although I am in the UK recognised most of the features especially the music. It brought memories flooding back to me and oh how I wish for those good old days again. Thank you.

Hi Elizabeth, glad you enjoyed them, we heard most of them here [UK] anyway thats why I posted it, I loved the days when I could hear the words to songs, not sure if thats to do with my hearing or the sound these days Grin

Val, Nothing to do with your Hearing!! There is No Voice power today, only shouting and the Mike in the mouth.
Remember the music halls ?? no close mics: yet could hear quite clearly -- No Mic: Impediment Huh

Oh ! Yes! The 'Artists' where smartly Dressed, lovely Voices and --- No jumping about on stage!! --- Great!!

Yes Val...thank you for the thread and the chestnut one too
I can go around the chestnut trees near me and pick up quite a few...the school boys/girls leave them as they go
back to school...and the 60s music was not quite my scene
As i am a big band man and boy...records at four shillings
and tuppence halfpenny each...Glen Miller...my favourite.
In my young days in the late 1950/s ballroom dancing was still in...you did rock and roll and you were thrown out.
we went to a sixpenny hop with a live band on Saturdays.

mention of rock and roll of the 50s reminds me when I first met my girlfriend who became my wife.Dancing or should I say bopping to those early rock songs were great, wish I could do them now Undecided
