 A trip down memory Lane
Hi
Not to get off the subject, but I bet none of you remember sitting in front of your brand new T.V., with those wonderful rabbit ears, watching the test pattern, which never changed, just waiting for Howdy Doody and Sage Brush Trail to start. Which wasn't until about 4 in the afternoon, maybe later, I can't quite remember.
Later on it was the Mickey Mouse club (that was good) Then American Bandstand, where we listened to artists such as Connie Francis, Fabian, Frankie Avalon.
We had all of 3 channels to choose from, and the four of us kids were allowed to share an orange as a treat. We each got a section or two, (if we were lucky)
My Mom decided that we had to watch something educational, and there was a program called fun to learn yuk! (after all, we'd just already come home from school.) The program started with this goofy trumpet music, the show was Boring as h---. It was either that or get outside and play, which wasn't a bad option, either.
Aw----those were the good old days, and none of us felt deprived.
Now you all probably know my age.
