From Doo Wop to early Motown, oh the songs and the memories connected to them! With each ere that "comes back" like grunge or disco, I always wonder why no one ever tries to bring back Doo Wop. I'd rather see teens today hanging at a sock hop instead of practicing their graffiti skills on the freeway over hands and signs.<br />What a wonderful piece of YOU, Darlene!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6393027414870274744.post-7336522750980414172011-01-08T00:41:47.599-05:002011-01-08T00:41:47.599-05:00Shirley: You made me giggle.

LOL...good thing my best friend had more common sense than I did because I was struck dumb by love at first sight. I was about 15. Considering subsequent events, it could very well have been my last night on earth...seriously... I thank God that He always watched over me and protected me from my thoughtless ways in my youth.Darlene ~Bloggity Blogger~https://www.blogger.com/profile/08202901408911879517noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6393027414870274744.post-21973758111667702352011-01-08T00:37:47.596-05:002011-01-08T00:37:47.596-05:00Temy: I know what you mean.

The only other place in town for entertainment was the pool hall...where everyone was either smoking or drinking.....Well the summer when I was 12 years old and madly in love??? with my neigbor and school friend's cousin that JeanEllen's mom and dad decided to open a snack and non alcolic drink and dance hall in back with a Juke box and booths ....It was to be a safe place for teen agers to hang out! I have many of the same emotions you have described about this time period, the songs all had special meaning applied to me and my dream boat which could in no way be revealed to my mother. I was not even allowed to think about dating at that age and especially the guy I had a crush on as he was 4 years older than me and even though he told me he wanted to go with me ...I would have to say I just wanted to be friends....My mom told my brother who was three years older than me to watch me and to tell Bob. to stay away from me. But the music I remember loving were country music....such as Ernest Tubb, Hank Snow, Hank Williams, and a little later I must say I fell in love with Johnny Cash and Elvis Presly..... THen came Fats Domino....Whoopie! By that time I was like you said , "a dancin fool" and still love to dance in my own living room and back then we seemed to call it Be-bop music.. There was a (song I liked to danced to back then ( I can't remember the artist)called Be bop a Lula...Well Da-boola I could go on and on but don't want to add a blog in a blog....we seem a lot alike except I seem to be about a score older than you...Isnt a score about 10 years? Love U and yer bloggin....Sh-BoolaShirleyhttp://bloggershboolascott@Blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6393027414870274744.post-59655211091443543072011-01-07T21:42:24.126-05:002011-01-07T21:42:24.126-05:00I like that music too.

I sometimes will spend 8 straight hours or more going through youtube videos of such music...and crying buckets for broken dreams, and lost hopes. I find it cleansing.Temyhttp://www.myspace.com/theoddone69noreply@blogger.com
