Retro Wednesday.....



Before there was MTV...
Before there was Don Kirshner's Rock Concert..
Before there was Hullaballoo and Shindig...
Even before Dick Clark's American Bandstand....
The popular music of the day was on TV...
YOUR HIT PARADE!!!
Dorothy Collins, Snooky Lanson, and The Hit Parade singers!!
Of course I remember that show...hehehehe
Peace...!!!

    I've heard of that but never saw it. Which is probably just as well because, from the clip, it looks pretty goofy.:-)

    let's see ... corny, surreal ... a combo of a grown-up version of the Micky Mouse Club and Lawrence Welk. And yes ... this was before my time.

    thanks for the giggles,

    Feeling a bit nostalgic lately g?
    I was recently thinking about how I
    would wake up early Sat/Sun mornings and put on the ole B&W and the only program on was the
    "Modern Farmer"!

    For a city kid it was very educational! :D

    All I remember was it was bad! A bunch of has-beens, trying to remain in the spotlight...
