We heard the big bands and other newer types of music. AND, here in Southern California we got all on the same radio stations! The lineup might be Benny Goodman, Frank Sinatra, Elvis Presley, Sammy Cook, Carmen MacRay, Ella Fitzgerald, Jimmy Dorsey, Little Richard, Sarah Vonn, The Coasters, The Platters, Dean Martin, Frankie Laine, etc.. That was really great! Now you've got to turn to different stations for different kinds of music. Of course, I have a lot of CDs of various music I like, including classical, musicals, Spanish, Mexican, Flamenco, middle eastern, and on and on and on. AND, slow dancing is super. That's all my husband knows. I learned the other dances and he'd just stand and keep the rhythm with his feet. Thanks for mentioning that! Sandi

One of my favorite memories (believe it or not!) was being wrapped around the throat with vicks with a wool sock! I still miss that touch! "Being rubbed whole chestedly, but that sock!" Do we still do this now? ( I know I did in the 70's, 80's...for mine..) ?

I still say the best thing to do for a sore throat is gargle with warm SALT water???? TM

________ Let's think of the late 30s and early 40s. I remember Deep Purple and Stardust. I could play both of the accordion and piano while my older sister sang in assemblies. Do any of you remember assemblies in small schools? What a treat! Bettye (Mrs. Max G.)
