When I was a kid my friend had two older sisters who were married and moved out, and they left a box of 45's in the attic. Of course we found them, and played them, and I have loved that music ever since. <br /><br />I read The Help and had a hard time wrapping my head around the fact that this era was in our so-recent Forty Pound Sackhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16532270470379845645noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29822720.post-3015726482005477372011-09-30T10:29:41.607-06:002011-09-30T10:29:41.607-06:00Dearest Dawn...first of all, Happy Belated Birthda...Dearest Dawn...first of all, Happy Belated Birthday!!! I'm a bit late with my best wishes but know that they come from the heart:-)<br /><br />I so enjoyed this post because although I was born in 1957, I always say I should have been a teenager during that time because I love anything to do with the 50's, especially the music and the clothes! That's when music was music.

So pretty!!<br /><br />You have such a good memory, I certainly could relate to to all of it. Sure wish the music was as innocent now as it was back then.

She had a poodle skirt and listened to all the 50's music so I would get it second hand so to speak. I remember hats and gloves for church.nannykimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09904490730187017812noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29822720.post-60991645976958616912011-09-28T07:08:27.402-06:002011-09-28T07:08:27.402-06:00Happy birthday, Dawn.

The first 45 record I ever had was "Dream" - the Everly Brothers!<br />I feel such a sorrow about the racial discrimination too.

As I was reading what you wrote about the music of the 50's and 60's, I couldn't help but think of what was happening in terms of race relations in this country at that time. And then you addressed that exact topic. And you addressed it well. Yes, we've come a long way. And yes, we have a long way to go.
