Guest guest Posted September 17, 2007 Report Share Posted September 17, 2007 Yesterday in the church bulletin a song was listed, "Only You." Of course it was a worship song, but all I could think of was an old pop song. I couldn't remember many of the words, but the melody was there. That tune went through my head for the rest of the service & all the rest of Sunday. I thought it was sung by the Platters, but wasn't sure. Finally, today I looked it up. It was indeed the Platters, released in 1955 (I was only 6 yrs. old!), and there were all the words. So I sang it all the way through, even the "fancy" parts! That got me thinking about all the instrumental songs that were popular in the 60's, maybe early 70's too. How many of you remember The Baby Elephant Walk, Washington Square, Love is Blue, A Walk in the Black Forest, Cast Your Fate to the Winds? There was another one that I can't remember the name; kids used to slow dance to it & it had an unusual sound to it. Now that one is going to bug me. I later learned the words to Love is Blue & Cast Your Fate, but I preferred the instrumental versions. I remember my brother having albums by Herbie something (not Herb Alpert, altho he was good too), Chet Atkins, some drummer, a pianist. I wish we still had those records.

Guest guest Posted September 17, 2007 Report Share Posted September 17, 2007 That's one of the reasons I love my iPod! When you think of the songs you love, you can find them on the internet (or download your CD) and copy it onto your iPod. That way you have continuous music, and it's all your favorite songs.Naa KoshieRose wrote: Yesterday in the church bulletin a song was listed, "Only You."

Guest guest Posted November 2, 2007 Report Share Posted November 2, 2007 My dad passed away 3/2000 but I remember he had a wind up beach phonograph. It looked like a child's suitcase but it had the wind up handle on the side and played the thick records. I'm not sure which family member has it now, but it was neat....(I'm only 51 but my dad was an antique nut) --- mosaicgirl1 wrote: > > , > > My husband has on old turn table set up in the > garage and he listens to > his old 45's out there.

Guest guest Posted November 3, 2007 Report Share Posted November 3, 2007 Connie, you know that phonograph is probably worth a good deal of money. Do you ever watch Antiques Roadshow? It's amazing how many people have stuff sitting in an attic or closet that's very valuable. Ramblin' RoseModerator A merry heart is good medicine.
