.....while some shrimp scampi slowly simmers on the stove.
After a particularly perfect weekend comes to an end this old tune
jumped out at me. Initially I was excited just to have found a high
quality audio of the song then the flood of TV memorabilia took over
the screen. Immediately it transported me back to 1965 and I might
add, oh, what a long strange trip it's been. KEEP ON DANCING!
you know it really cracks me up that the younger generation think they invented some moves. They really need to watch this.
Enjoyed this one a lot. 50 years ago. My how time flies when you are having fun. I remember all the shows. Smiled when Granny was doing her thing.
Tammy, a couple of generations have slipped by. In time they'll all be back and the message will have come full circle.
Sussie, that's what I like to read. I also have 45's but nowhere to play them. There's still plenty of room on my iPod though.
Bill, Lurch got a belly laugh out of me and Granny was close too. Uncle Martin and 99 along with several others really came as surprises also. It was a fun filled find!
Have I ever mentioned how much I love your alliteration? I was enthralled with Patty Duke (and Haley Mills) at the ripe old age of 11 or 12, and there were dozens of wonderful memories in that clip. Bill Bixby, Sally Field, The Monkees, Illya Kuryakin . . . and the best part of the vids you post are the little rabbit trails they lead you down at the end LOL Thanks for sharing!
Mimi, if there was a prize you would win for recognizing and mentioning alliteration & Illya Kuryakin. The zero point bonus question is what's his actual name? Truth be told, I've been singing The Patty Duke Show theme song for the past two weeks. ♫ One pair of matching bouquets, different as night and day. ♪
Oh, silly question, David McCallum aka Ducky. I was heartbroken when Jill Ireland left him for Charles Bronson, but he seems to have made a very good 'alternative' choice. Keep 'em coming ;)
Oh you all are good with your recollections, Kevin!! me i'm enjoying our FL weather in RI right now.
Mimi, it looks as if I must dig deep to stump you my dear!
Ginny, we're weeks away from seeing the physical visitation begin but I am glad you're enjoying the weather sans our daily rainfall.

I really miss those days. I haven't been able to move like that in years. I'd probably throw a hip out if I tried to now.
CONGRATULATIONS on having this blog FEATURED in the Old Fart’s Club group! And, Thanks for the memories!
Mryl, here's a new cure for that hip problem c/o Wilson Pickett. Put your hands on your hips and let your backbone slip! I am honored to be featured in the Old Farts group. It's beginning to feel like my 2nd home. There's no need to thank me, however, you are certainly welcome my friend! Uh Oh, I just noticed I'm a Gold Card member. (AIN'T SCARED)
Kevin,
Wow.. Thanks as I do remember this song without question. It was a good song in its day and one most folks danced to! i am showing my age. Thanks for sharing.
Bob, you're welcome. The Gentry's didn't overwhelm us with hits but they had some good ones. "Cinnamon Girl" was also a later favorite.
