Songs From Your Youth

[TheHobbyist]

I remember growin' up my Dad and I listened to a lot of different music; some was Elvis, others were on WSM or the Grand Ole Opry. One that we always got a kick out of was the following. Feel free to share your own experience:

I was always a Rolling Stones / Kinks / Who / Beatles / Led Zep fan. Seen them all (except for the Beatles) numerous times, live. I was lucky enough to grow up half way between the Hartford and New Haven Coliseum's, so got to see lots of good bands.

Lab,

If I recall correctly, you also have an affinity for Depression era radios.

I have a number of old Zenith's from the 1930's still warmin' up to WSM.

Probably my rarest is an old fairbanks morse radio rotary dial...thing is just perfect with the old oil lamps and good music blastin'.

The songs/artists from my early youth would include Rock Around the Clock by Bill Haley and the Comets and the pre-army Elvis Presley.

Saw this guy a few years ago, ended the concert with this which includes one of the great guitar riffs of all time. Brought all us old farts out of our seats.

[Iggy]

This'n is the first one I remember as a kid in the 40's.

I believed it too.

I was in love with her voice when I was in Jr. High. Din't have a TV or any way of finding out what she looked like, but she shore sounded good to me.

If you was growin' up on an isolated ranch in Wyoming, I shore did want to be the next of kin to the wayward wind.

When I was a kid my Dad listened to nothing to "hillbilly" music on WXGI, "the BIG X" in Richmond, Virginia. Lots of Hank Williams, Patsy Cline, Tex Ritter, Web Pierce, Ernest Tubb, and so on.

I HATED it. I couldn't stand that hillbilly honkey tonk...."stuff".

Of course now, I love it. Somewhere my Dad is laughing his head off.

I remember once, years later, my own son, looking through my tape box (You young folks can look up "tape" as it relates to music) and asked me, "Dad, do you listen to anyone who's still alive?" After I thought about it for a bit, I said, "no."

Another time, someone went through my Jeep parked in the driveway. They pulled the tapes out of my tape box, but didn't steal a one.
