      Friday night dances and sock hops were always the best part of the week.* I could never count the number of times I've danced to "In the Still of the Night." I didn't understand at the time how special it was to grow up in small-town America in that era. Looking back, I can see it clearly. How did I get so fortunate??
      *Just need to add that, during the summer, teen night at the pool was right up there with the Friday night dances.

      I was 12 years old in 1956. I remember when Elvis started. And now He is gone. It just doesn't seem right. The 50s and 60s were the greatest time in history. People trusted each other. You never worried about getting shot on your front porch or at a store. People went out of there way to help each other in the 50s and 60s. People Preach forget about the past and think about the future. I don't want to forget about the past because it was a past worth remembering forever. The future is something to worry about.

      Music has a beautiful ability to heal and it doesn't matter if that healing is to the mind or spirit. Life can be hard at times. Why not remember try to remember the feelings of long ago..the beginning of all our hopes and dreams. If we are able to lose ourselves for awhile .. remember and feeling can be a blessing. Ill take all the blessings I can get. I don't think everyone will have such memories and to me that's sad. Enjoy your music Jim!

    Those wonderful days of driving to school in your senior year with one
    the most beautiful girls in the senior class and walking in the main
    patio with her arm in arm makes up for all the boring times you are now going
    through as in senior in life.

    Got to enjoy both Doowop worlds....in 1956 the Five Satins came out with "In the still of the night", and in 1985 Ronnie Milsap came out with "Lost in the 50's Tonight"....both versions are fantastic....in '56 I was in high school...!!! No matter, when I hear either of these songs my memory goes way back as do the emotions of those eras.

    I was born in 51 so no romantic memories of the 50's but nice ones of many things in a united America. WW2 aircraft searchlights leading us to a fair or other activity. Ice cream stands, drive-ins, very dark sky at night, 2 or 3 TV channels, AM radio....

    Ronnie Milsap sure can sing. Lost in the Fifties Tonight was Milsap's 42nd single to be released. At the same time, it was also his 27th No. 1 hit on the Billboard Hot Country Singles. Sad that his Mother did not want her own child because he was born blind and thought God was Punishing her. Thankfully his grandparents took him as their own at the age of one and a half. God had plans for Ronnie who is now 73 years old and is releasing Hymns...God Bless you Ronnie!~

    I went to a George Strait concert in 2008 and Ronnie opened for George and the whole crowd was singing with him and it was my first time hearing his music and I was hooked I had to listen to all of his music that night on the drive home it was amazing.

    • @Squee_Dow
      @Squee_Dow Рік тому

      Sounds exactly like my youth. Depending on which year (sophomore, junior or senior), I may not have been able to whisper how well my guy had played since the one in my junior year was mostly a bench warmer. 😆 But it was okay with me because he was a good dancer. Those Friday night dances and sock hops were always the best part of the week.* I could never begin to count the number of times I've danced to "In the Still of the Night." I didn't understand at the time how special it was to grow up in small-town America in that era. Looking back, I can see it clearly. How did I get so fortunate??
      *Just need to add that, during the summer, teen night at the pool was right up there with the Friday night dances.
