2. Thanks for the memories NightTrain

One of my favorite childhood memories is that of dancing with my uncle (he was 15 and needed someone to practice with). I was 6 years old. I can see the old radio on my Grandma's counter and remember laughing at all the dance moves my uncle was doing and trying to get me to do. :-)

3. '58 was a very good year

I turned 11 and got my first record player.
It only played 45rpms.
I just go a CD called "The Crickets and their Buddies" doing a lot of early hits with many guest artists.
I highly recommend it!
