We purchased tickets – three for our neighbor and her parents and two for ourselves.

“STAND BY ME” – SPAINISH HARLEM” “UNDER THE BOARDWALK” ” CHARLIE BROWN”

“YACKITY YAK” ” THE GREAT PRENDER” “ON BROADWAY” “YOUNGBLOOD”

and the list goes on and on.

I guess trying to remember the ’50s and ’60s at our age is not easy –

and I hear music but I can’t really tell you each and every time who sings it!

But – regardless – it all came back one by one

as the songs came out to much delight.

For me, it brought back memories of our local park Tennis Courts.

I belonged to a group one step up from the Boy Scouts – called THE EXPLORERS!

We raised money for our trips and activities – one way was by holding dances at the Tennis Courts!

I think we charged 25 cents – sold soda and candy –

and someone – for my life, I can not remember who although I want to say Guy

spun those 45s!

All these songs we heard at the Alabama Theater from –

THE DRIFTERS – THE COASTERS and THE PLATTERS

were played those evenings under the park lights and stars!

A memorable concert – through the years and back in time –

this was the way it was when I was growing up!
