Music for our generation

My brother sent this link to me ... i spent an hour just remembering songs i loved from the 60's and 50's ... All with video clips.   Hope it works for you.... As it is full of video clips, make sure you have internet enough to run.

 Just add the www stuff in front and htm at the end.  Its part of an American school  website which is not password protected like the rest of the site.

G'day Libby,

Thanks a whole heap for posting this link,
It sure brings back some great memories of the days when we used to sit for hours in the Milk Bars and play some of those songs endlessly.

One thing that really stood out was the fact that, one could understand exactly what the singers of our time were singing about,
and it was very easy on the ear drums, back in the good old 50's & 60's.

This Link has gone into my memory file and it will be repeated when-ever I get a chance,
Should be a good talking point at some future "Happy Hours"

Many thanks, kiwijims

you are very welcome kiwijims .... must agree with you, just can't find anything to appreciate in today's generation of music ..... give me the 50's and 60's any day where you can tap to the tune and actually follow the lyrics and often even remember them ......

Travel safe

Libby

Kath and I just bought a set of dvd's from jukebox Saturday night. They are Bandstand Vol 1 to 5 starting at 1960 15 dvd's in all. we watched the first one last night and enjoyed it. was only a kid when the first one was made but still remember sitting with cousins watching Bandstand. Johnny Devlin at 17 and Judy Stone at 15 also brings back memories of the Stadium in Sydney and J ok's 6 oclock rock
