Hi Why is this particular topic "stuck" to the top? and who has the capacity to do the "sticking"? Diane

I'm very excited to be interviewing Dave Somerville, the Diamonds' lead singer and only original survivor for upcoming book about the baby boomers. It's called Once Upon Our Times (Because Life Isn't a Fairy Tale): 65 Years Growing up Boomer. You can read about the book at onceuponourtimes.com .

Also, if you have any questions you'd like me to ask Dave about the Diamonds' history, music, old rock 'n'roll, etc. just respond to this note here.

What song evokes the strongest memories for you
Posted by AARPGuide

"Garden in the rain" by the four Aces - 1952 - Junior High dances in Eugene, OR at the Teen Canteen above Dotson's on Willamette Street. The flip side "Tell me why" was pretty good too!

Cheers,
Miles

Do you Remember the group The Diamonds? The Diamonds.. Performances 47 years apart FYI, the lead singer of the Diamonds is also the father of TOM HANKS. If you were alive in 1957, and old enough to enjoy Rock and Roll, you will probably remember the group, "The Diamonds" who had just launched their super hit "Little Darlin' ". For you that are too young to remember - it was a time when the performers were happy, enjoying themselves, respecting their fans, dressed appropriately and their lyrics could be understood. They did not feel obligated to scream, eat the microphone, mumble inaudible lyrics or trash the set. In 1957, The Diamonds had a hit with "Little Darlin". 47 years later, they were requested to perform at Atlantic City ... This link leads to both performances. Watch the first one then scroll down for the new one 47 years later. http://www.flixxy.com/the-diamonds-little-darlin-1957-2004..htm
Posted by louisie

I remember the song, never cared that much for it but do agree the fifties were great times for growing up - Elvis, real Rock & Roll and Rythum and blues, duck tails, pegged pants, outrageously expensive Stradivarius Shirts with the slanted pockets (at least in Eugene $10), one button suits, English Brouges. etc. In '55 or '56 I remember a DJ on KUGN was fired because he said damn or hell on his live program. Does anyone even say damn or hell anymore?

Cheers,
Miles

The Eagles "Tequila Sunrise" that is a classic, which I still love to hear today, especially when I am sitting on the beach watching the sunset.

I am not sure how funny this is, but......... Warning, this will get into your head, and stay there!

Julie Andrews Turning 79 -

To commemorate her birthday , actress/vocalist, Julie Andrews made a special appearance at Manhattan's Radio City Music Hall for the benefit of the AARP. One of the musical numbers she performed was 'My Favorite Things' from the legendary movie 'Sound Of Music'. Here are the lyrics she used:

(Sing It!) - If you sing it, its especially hysterical!!!

Botox and nose drops and needles for knitting,
Walkers and handrails and new dental fittings,
Bundles of magazines tied up in string,
These are a few of my favorite things.

Cadillacs and cataracts, hearing aids and glasses,
Polident and Fixodent and false teeth in glasses,
Pacemakers, golf carts and porches with swings,
These are a few of my favorite things.

When the pipes leak, When the bones creak,
When the knees go bad,
I simply remember my favorite things,
And then I don't feel so bad.

Hot tea and crumpets and corn pads for bunions,
No spicy hot food or food cooked with onions,
Bathrobes and heating pads and hot meals they bring,
These are a few of my favorite things.

Back pain, confused brains and no need for sinnin',
Thin bones and fractures and hair that is thinnin',
And we won't mention our short shrunken frames,
When we remember our favorite things.

When the joints ache, When the hips break,
When the eyes grow dim,
Then I remember the great life I've had,
And then I don't feel so bad.
>>>>>>>>>>>>> > >>>>>>>>>>>> >>>>>>>
(Ms. Andrews received a standing ovation from the crowd -That lasted over four minutes and repeated encores.

Different things for different times. The Beatles" White Album" for my wicked college years. The Beach Boys "I Get Around" and "Fun, Fun, Fun" for high school. I can even remember songs from my sixth grade "prom", i.e. "He'll Have To Go" and "Hello, Walls" For some reason, lyrics are like smells to me. They evoke strong memories. These are just a few of hundreds! Did I mention I love music?
