Second home run stryper!

Refreshing my boyhood memories of Santa buzzing over the snowy burms on a Norelco Trippleheader! Plus anything Rudolph makes this guy who was a young kid in the 60's smile.

I agree...always loved the tracks in the snow. I fondly remember watching those in black and white, with rabbit ears on top of the set.

 

And then there was Linus...lights, please:

Great find!

This thread is so long that I can’t remember everything we’ve covered. Have we done Joni yet?

 

[stryper]

But I’m pretty sure we didn’t do this one:

 

[Petethreeput]

This, IMHO, is the single best version of this ditty. Neil upfront, the Band doing what they do, and Joni being Joni.

Wow. Hadn't seen that in quite some time. I think Sunday's were usually Disney, Mutual of Omaha Wild Life with Lorne Green I believe. And Wide World of Sports with McKay. Could be wrong however since it's been 45ish years.

Good call. It was actually Mutual of Omaha’s Wild Kingdom with Marlin Perkins and Jim Fowler

LOL. How funny! If it came to a bet I would have been quite confident in Lorne Greene being the host. Looked up Perkins and recognized his face instantly.

Yeah, Jim got to “handle” all the critters, while Marlin narrated. ?

I do too! I kept my mother's. It is mint and in the original box. but it is a Sunbeam.

Hah

I like many of you can't remember ( nor will search back) if many of these have been posted. So I am flinging a few up carelessly!

 

 

a Mount Rushmore selection for this thread.

I think mine is a Sunbeam as well. Little late now, but if I think about it, I’ll dig mine out and post a pic tomorrow.

 

In the spirit of full disclosure...it’s not mint. ?

I crank Guitar Man without scruples.... but this one is enjoyed alone at a discreet volume...

That's the beauty of these threads ( 60's and 70's & the 80's one) styper. You get to experience both expressions. There is the "hell yeah, that's a killer track!" expression. Too you get the " aw hell no, I can't handle that" expression as well. When I go to the 80's thread and see all the hard Metal posts I exude the latter! Getting out my electric carving knife this afternoon and will post. :)

Well Bobcat as long as we are keeping the soft sounds selections going...............

Some Killer fashions the brothers be donning in this one! lol

By the way.... the title of this thread inherently draws those of us with EXTRA gray, gray matter so we're prone to duplicating song posts... and what's the harm in that?

And too the thread sort of faded away for a bit. Now that it's been sort of half revived we oldsters can't be bothered to look back over 40+ pages, and too lazy to use the search feature. Why not just throw a few up again. lol

 

 

 

 

 

I would have loved to discover these prison escapee's in the 70's !!! :p
