Vintage Friday: It’s Your Music 1966

As a girl I waited tables in my mother’s restaurant situated near a crossing of the Withlacoochee River. Besides tips and people watching, one of my favorite pastimes was playing the juke box. The Irish Rovers’ music made my Celtic heart sing. Do you remember their song, The Unicorn? Shel Silverstein wrote the lyrics a… Continue reading Vintage Friday: It’s Your Music 1966

Vintage Friday: It’s Your Music 1963

Just last week I found out the world lost 1960s singer Lesley Gore on February 16, 2015.  I don’t know how I missed her passing, but February is usually a tough month for me from the standpoint of sinus / throat health. I may have been “out of it.” Her songs were an important part… Continue reading Vintage Friday: It’s Your Music 1963

Vintage Friday: It’s Your Music 1962

The Gypsy Rover has been a favorite song of mine for many years. I used to have a 45 I played over and over. On You Tube is a version featuring the fine sounds of the Irish band The Clancy Brothers and compiled by FairyBeliever16. Enjoy this frolicking folk tune! I bet you’ll be humming it the… Continue reading Vintage Friday: It’s Your Music 1962

Vintage Friday: Drop the Handkerchief

  Reposted   Miss Vi recently celebrated her 85th birthday. I remembered this post I wrote in January 2014 and wanted to share it again, with minor edits: For Christmas I decided to buy a set of pretty handkerchiefs for Miss Viola, the mother of a friend of mine. Miss Vi calls me her “other daughter,” and that’s a good… Continue reading Vintage Friday: Drop the Handkerchief

Vintage Friday: It’s Your Music 1961

A cheating woman, heartbroken man, final love note, and raging river — the combination makes for a wonderfully mournful tune. I picked a river song to match yesterday’s feature of Guardian of the Deep on the Paranormal Romance Thursday Tour, since a river is a player in that book. This 1961 song is one of… Continue reading Vintage Friday: It’s Your Music 1961

Vintage Friday: Route 66 – 1960

One of my favorite television shows as a young child was the iconic drama, Route 66. George Maharis played edgy, street smart Buz Murdock, and Martin Milner the easier going, Yale educated Tod Stiles. The two sped down Route 66 in a corvette and filmed episodes on location. In each segment they became embroiled in… Continue reading Vintage Friday: Route 66 – 1960
