      • I see Dave posted it. Now I'm scared to listen--------After all, I'm wondering what age I started remembering music. Or what age I'm forgetting music. Think i'll hit the pool and not worry about it.

        • Just tried to listen to the song. Couldn't get past the first line of lyrics. I'm sticking with late 1960's music. Maybe songs like these are why I have some many brothers and sisters---bordem.

  • "Yellow Rose of Texas" -- the Mitch Miller version?!?
    Evidently, they did it to "Sandman". He certainly brought them a dream! Ahem.

  • How appropriate....."Rum and Coca Cola" by the Andrew sisters was the top song played for my birthday.

    Guess I'll celebrate on Sunday with an Abuela and coke.

    Thanks for posting Jayne.

  • Thanks for the memories - that's indeed a fun website, Jayne.  

    I was apparently a "Glenn Miller Baby"- born when "Chattanooga Choo Choo" was the #1 song.   

    It's an interesting coincidence that my birth parents, who were very poor, were staying with my paternal grandparents in Lafayette, Indiana when I was born, and we lived on a very unusual street with train tracks running right down the middle of it - with no separation from cars and pedestrians.  Although I have nofamily photos from those days, I found the below picture - taken in 1968 - on the internet and cleaned it up as best I could.

    842652182?profile=originalLafayette is the home of Purdue University, and had a population of about 27,000 at the time. It was one of many cities around the world that had train tracks embedded in the pavement that ran right through the downtown area and adjacent residential neighborhoods.  Trains traveling slowly through cities on such tracks is called "street running".  I can still remember the big steam locomotives passing in front of the house and shaking the ground like a small earthquake.  

    I only lived in Lafayette for a short time as an infant before we moved back up north to Goshen, Indiana.  However, we did visit my grandparents a couple of times as a child before I was adopted at age 10 and moved to Illinois with my new parents.  

    Although I have no family photos from those days, the house in the photo to the right of the train and behind the white building - the one with big front porch - looks very much like what I remember about my grandparents house from those days 65 years ago.
