Bicknell , Thanks for the birthday song video by Marilyn. I will leave her for that Massachusetts family, but appreciate you thinking of me.

 

I'll take ( you select one ) instead.

> Oh my! Ole Bicknell my mid western brother where have you been? First thanks very much for the belated B day wish. It's too funny how the electric knife fits right in on this thread. Haircuts same check...P.F. Flyers or Ked's shoes check too.? Why did your Colts have to suck last Sunday? cost me few. lol

> Again it is great to see ya round here sir. I really enjoy my man Bicknell's contributions. Hope all is well in Johnny Cougar Land.

Keds, Lou Brock, LT's, Converse All Stars, Adidas, Puma Clydes would have been the progression. I'm fine, busy doing family stuff and complaing about those Colts. I'm no expert, but Miami stacked the box, and dared us to pass, which Hoyer did (badly though). Sorry you picked em man, it was a tough game for me to watch. Check out what I posted in the pick 3 thread before you bet another of their games.

I'll be around, Good talking to you Touch.

I don't remember ever seeing one of these but it is FANTASTIC!

 

Bicknel, I too am in Indiana (Muncie) and that game pissed me off! Losing to the fins at HOME? Have we played golf together? Do you frequent the Indiana threads?

Interesting ad to start this video so do check it out and see if it jogs some memories.

 

Here we have more dancing young American youth from 1967.

The AB dance contest from 1967.

The song selected is one of my favorites from the decade.

Enjoy.

Ok I recently shared my sentiment that ( many of us) being a kid in the 60's and 70's I was part of the last generation of young adults to grow up in the time of great old simpler America.

Seeing these video's in black and white reminds me of just that!

 

 

 

 

 

 

Above are just some photos I grabbed off Pinterest.

The weather was reasonable today, so I was outside working on my annual holiday Festival of Lights. Decided my favorite indoor decoration from my childhood could come out of hibernation early this year!

Some Dick Van Dyke appreciation:

And since Dick’s last name is apparently deemed offensive by some behind the scenes bot, I now feel compelled to post this:

Okay, I’m stuck on Christmas

A meeting of the minds...we probably need more of this these days.

We’ve probably been down these roads before, but this is just on much fun!

 

 

Interesting article (to me) on Frampton’s Talk Box. Although the history predates him, a guy named Bob Heil used to run music store in southern Illinois that _every_ band that came through the St. Louis area made a point of visiting. Heil was the guy that amped up the box that Frampton used for his signature sound.

Did we somehow forget these guys??? (Seriously funny stuff ?)

Loved their variety show. Tommy is my spirit animal.
