  i) I don't live in the USA
  
  ii) my interest in music came along a bit later than a few hours old
  
  iii) there wasn't much good around in 1950 and if it was good, it wasn't on the charts.

    Thanks Fender, you made me check.

    But I bet it wouldn't have got any play here in straighto-white Aussie back then!

  Stevie Ray died. We'll be hearing a Stevie Ray cover band Thursday night. The guy that sits in for Stevie is scary good. It'll be at a place that Stevie had played at back in 1977. I'll be 56. The September of my years. Lester Young would have been 106.

    But... 56? September? Ha! You're still years from the top of your game. It's "late July". 'Course, that doesn't fit nicely into a Frank Sinatra tune. If I knew then, "when I was 21", what I know now, I'd be ...

  Mitch Miller - oy! I do remember watching "Sing Along With Mitch" on the black and white telly as a child.
  
  I also clearly remember the Chock Full O' Nuts jingle - "Chock Full O' Nuts is that heavenly coffee, better coffee a millionair'es money can't buy!". And I also remember watching the *worst* animated series ever - Clutch Cargo. The characters barely moved except for their lips - creepy!
  
  My favorite show back then was Amos And Andy - they would *never* dare run repeats of that nowadaze!

  States and Canada: Shadow dancing, Andy Gibb - Tolerable.
  
  UK and Australia: You're The One That I Want - John Travolta & Olivia Newton John - Tolerable if you like Travolta
  
  Germany: Rivers of Babylon, Boney M - Tolerable if you like WTF?
  
  Watched some videos of Boner M because I had never heard them before.
  Lol that little dude can't stand still.
  
  So there you have it, music doesn't just suck these days, it was terrible in 1978 as well.

  The Nazi Luftwaffe first bombed residential areas of London on the day I was born. There is a plaque in Bloomsbury marking the spot where the first bomb landed. It was the start of the blitz.
  
  I don't think too many people were concerned about what the #1 song on the hit parade was on that day.
