Remembering Back Music 60s and 70s

Posted By Webmaster

While working on This Day In History I came across the Date
24th March 1973 that Pink Floyd released Dark Side Of The Moon which reminded me about a time in my 20's when the album came out.

What it reminded me of most what not just what a fantastic album it was, but how I played it full blast on an old player for LP's until the album became so scratched It would spend more time skipping tracks than listening .

I wonder how many remember that back in those days you only had to slam a door for the stylus to skip or scratch, or how compared with the sound from a modern CD player even a Walkman so much was lost , but thank you for those great albums from those days

Just a few that were played full blast in my teens and early 20s bring back great memories

The Beatles "Abbey Road"

Pink Floyd's "Another Brick In The Wall"

Pink Floyd "Dark Side Of The Moon"

The Who "Tommy"

Bob Dillon " The Freewheeling Bob Dylan"

Creedence Clearwater Revival "Bayou Country"

Jimi Hendrix "Electric Ladyland"

Simon and Garfunkel " Parsley, Sage, Rosemary and Thyme"

The Beatles "Abbey Road"

The list could go on forever and I am sure I Have forgotten many great great albums without even touching on 45's what great great times for music 

Many I have replaced with CD's but I think I miss something when I think of my old LP's

Traditional Milkman

Milkmans Son, United States, My father was a traditional milkman

My father was the traditional milkman. Up at 3:00 a.m., got to the dairy by 4:30, on the milk route by 5:00, home be 5:30 p.m. He had (and still has some) of the original wooden milk crates and glass bottles w/caps. He would be given bottles of "booze" in the milk shoots as gifts from his customers. No matter how much snow or ice, he would get the milk/cream/etc delivered to everyone. I treasure those days when I would get up early with him and eat breakfast and watch the sun rise. He taught me a great work ethic and you do not have to make alot of money to have a happy life. He is 80 now, and his granddaughter is interviewing him for her 4th grade project on being a milkman. He still roller skates/dances and can bike up to 20 miles per day. I thank God for him.

well i wasn't alive in the 1960's but i have researched it thoroughly and i have to say life must have been so cool! and lots of cool inventions were made in those years.from playdoh to zip codes....and all the stuff you got away with like no seatbelts and hanging out with who ever you want..i would have loved it.and also back then they had the best music that the words of the song really had an exact feeling and meaning.

50s Book Of Memories

Book of Memories, United States
My passion for my memories of the 50' and 60's grew into a rather large collection of nostalgic items (incluuding a costume actually worn by Bozo The Clown in the 1960's, he is now my close friend).

I also spent several years on an oldies radio staion playing the music I loved and interviewed hundreds of celebrities from the 50's and 60's, some of whom are no longer with us but survive on tape.

From all that came two and a half years of writing that culminated in something called "Nostalgia: The Big List". It is a compilation of EVERYTHING nostalgic. Nearly 8,000 entries from tv and movies, to hairdo's and fads, cars and clothes and everyting else in bewteen.
You can take a serious walk down memory lane with this book. It's cheap too because it is available on compact disc reducing the cost of printing a book. Pop it into the computer and read it there or print it out.

I remember going to church play in the summer inthe late 30s. They would have us sing a song I beleive named I Want To BE Friendly. I guess it was a song to stay out of war. Any one remember the words?
