60's Redux Is it so terribly wrong to want to go back in song just like I did tonight under starshine bright and watch the 60's come alive… Johnny Preston came with Running Bear and did a tribute to Big Bopper just as if he were there… Merilee Rush came on Angel of the Morning, and though she's aged haven't we all it was a treat to hear her sing… Wooly Bully pulled us in Sam the Sham, hey, he's the man and if I could I'd be Little Red Riding Hood Gary Lewis still has This Diamond Ring and I'd Count Me In if I were him and I'd ask to sing it again the headliner was our own Leslie Gore, she stole the show Sunshine, Lollipops & Rainbows It's my Party, You Don't Own Me brought back some real reverie so now the party's over the music belongs to the skies the Oldies station's now cued in and the memories are hummin' and I sit alone and sigh… Karilea If I whisper, will you listen?...KRJ |

I really like your approach - I saw 'run run run' and so many others pass before my "eye-ears" remembering doing the swim and the mashed potato and the hustle - thanks for this ~S~ |

So why wasn't I invited to this concert? Wow, that must have been one heck of a night. The memories of some of those songs and the times when they were shared are sweet memories indeed. And yes, I AM old enough to remember "SOME" of them.lol...not tellin how many though.  Beautiful write. |

Why didn't you call me?!?!?! We could have ROCKED AROUND THE CLOCK and, because I CAN'T HELP FALLING IN LOVE, I would have brought THIS DIAMOND RING and we'd be GOING TO THE CHAPEL before you knew it! The you would have told me to GET A JOB because you wanted some MONEY, HONEY and I would have RUNAWAY in THE STILL OF THE NIGHT with PEGGY SUE so I guess it's better you didn't call!  |
