Time goes so quickly here!

I was 21, stationed at Nha Trang, South Vietnam. Not exactly a hardship post. Music was very important to us!

Bad war. Great music.

I was fifteen. Man, that freaks me out. Seems like just yesterday.

Now try getting Happy Together out of your head all day.

As of September. I always said I would work till I drop, now I just want to get out of the rat race and retire. Maybe at 63 - I hope. Funny how that changes when you hit 60.

I wanted to perhaps retire at 63 as well. Only thing is i have an awesome job and if I leave I KNOW I will never get something like that again...especially the way the economy is. But, I still have time to think about it. For me i am most concerned about health. I never gave a thought about it before, but closing in at 60 makes me think about that more often.

Same here. Only 15 and still innocent.

How I would love just one day of being 15 again...

*wink wink*

Happy with where I am, though. But, the memories linger . . .

thank you...


Well, as long as we have our memories, the past can never really be gone, can it...

All it takes is a song, and I can close my eyes and "be" back in whatever year it was. It's so neat that music can do that.

I first heard them when they were new and not even on the charts yet. Worked for a Broadcast AM/FM - TV company at the time.

Thanks for these posts. Ah the memories.

I was 12.

so many classics and so much more variety than one would hear now on the radio.

These songs are all over the place in terms of styles. I guess we are too homogenized these days.

there are a few I swear I never heard before.....

The Hunter Gets Captured????

Niki Hokey??? or the singer P J Proby???


Funny, I can still actually sing these songs, I remember most of the lyrics. And I couldn't do that with newer songs, even though I have heard them more recently.

just look at the variety of styles.

That surprises me. I must have been stoned during that time. Oh yeah, '67? I was stoned.

16. About to finish high school (yeah, I was young).

I remember all but five or six of these, and remember them fondly.

Thanks for the trip down memory lane.

Great voice. Not a great interpreter.

'67 must have been when I began to lose all interest in contemporary 'pop' music.
I like lyrics and tunes I can sing.

I liked folk when The Kingston Trio ruled.
And The Limelighters, and The Brothers Four.

I liked pre-Elvis rock.

I liked Sinatra and big band.
The crooners, but mot so much Crosby.
Johnny Mathis.

And swing/jazz.
Benny Goodman, Glenn Miller, etc.

I did like the early Beatles.

Oh, I was 26 in 1967.


Still like all of the above.

In a feeble defense, I never liked Lawrence Welk's music or TV show, but I did watch it occasionally for the funny 'corny' factor.

I think the mid- 60s-to-very-early 70s were the only period in the entire 20th century when one could make a case that the best music being made at the time was also the most popular. Though, you have to admit, there's a lot of crap on that list amid the gems.

I was a teenager in the 80s, and the Top 40 charts then had almost nothing to do with anything me and my friends (and my 'zine readers) listened to or cared about.

The "Electric Prunes"?!? I don't remember that one! LOL
