a 45 or a 78 rpm. Now it is an IPod or some such device.
We danced the bop, the monkey, the mashed potato, the chicken,
the twist, the frug, the stroll and many other steps.
Everyone knew the steps and the competition was on the
dance floor. There was a new record and a new dance every
few weeks. We all watched American Bandstand with Dick Clark
and we practiced. I know that the older generations can’t stand
or understand the current generation’s music. It may not be true
in reverse – I love the Big Band sounds. What I want to
know is if the current generation will have Musical Memories
like mine. I can still feel the pleasure of In The Still of The Night
or Little Darling. Of course the Beatles changed that forever.
Music: The Old Rambler
