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 ? |

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  , |

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 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  |
