If WRX won't step up somebody has to Touch.

You have earned the excellence in posting music videos that inspire joy and bring back good memories for all. Wear it with pride my friend.

My parents had several Herb Alpert albums. I remember thinking these two tunes were cool

Gents it has been a blast participating in this enjoyable "flashback" thread. I made my first post on February 23rd. My goodness I have played right along for months! I must exit the stage now. I say cheers to the new WRX friends I have made here and will see you around.

Encore? !!

Three more from your ole boy touch (the Motown and St. Louis, kid and teen). They are artists from each of my 60's and 70's hometowns, or regionally close by.

Bob Cat you did real fine job in starting this thread sir. Bravo and thank you.

 

Motor City's REAL Rocker BOB!

 

And if I had to select 2 of my top 5 favorite rock songs from my H.S. days it would be these.

 

One is from a somewhat local St. Louis band ( East Central, Illinois). They formed at the U. of Illinois. The other selection is from the most excellent Indiana rocker Mr. John Cougar Mellencamp.

This one KICKS!!!!!!!!!

HEAD East

 

.......and this one kicks enormously as well.

Mellencamp

I enjoyed taking it back a few decades with you guys. I had such a grand time reading, listening, and participating.

Best,

touch

Oh and thank you very much Bicknell. I have enjoyed your contributions as well as my other mid western brother stryper.

[BicknellCC]

Are you leaving WRX @touch or just this thread?

[touch]

Just leaving posting on the thread. Time to practice at the driving range more!

[BicknellCC]

Ok man, good talking to ya on here, sharpen those golf skills sir. I'm sure I'll run into somewhere else on this board.

[Steele47]

I had freakin Herb Alpert running thru my head all day today. lol..

[Bob Cat]

No worries, Touch. This thread was born from cabin fever and it's only natural that it might simmer while we finally get outside to play.

 

I hope this golf season treats you as well as you treated this thread, my friend.

Could be worse...but then I live in a world where Burt Bacharach is a genius ?

Safe travels, touch, it’s been a wonderful ride down memory lane.

I hate when that happens. When my daughter was small I'd get Schoolhouse Rock, and Laurie Berkner tunes on mental repeat.

[DrOldSchool]

I still use this in class:

Didn't hate it at all. It just cracked me up that I had Herb in my head. I clicked on your samples of Herb not knowing what to expect but then of course remembered those songs. Just didn't know who performed them.

I can't remember what grade I was in, but memorizing the Preamble to the Constitution was a breeze with this. Cool you are using Schoolhouse Rock stuff Dr.

[DrOldSchool]

I use the preamble one too when I teach intro to US Gov (which isn't often anymore). This one too:

Wow Tinkertoys. I had an erector set too where I believe I built some sort of lil car or something. Think there was a battery involved.

Went and saw this guy last night...

 

 

Wish he'd have played this:
