Topic: Old Times Fun with Music

Just happened across this.  A good reminder for us old folks who remember Peter Paul and Mary, Donovan and the Smothers Brothers.  And to bring some of the fun they used to have with music to the foreground and to the attention of some of you younger folks who may not be aware of these or or would like to learn from them.  They sure did have fun back then.

Do you have any old favorites you would like to share?

I have finally found happiness in my life.  Guitars, singing, beer and camping.  And they all intertwine wonderfully.

we used to watch. Thanks for sharing.

Re: Old Times Fun with Music

I remember doing the "monkey steps" as we used to call them back in the early '60s we choreographed a slow motion fight scene with a strobe light to Link Rays son "Rumble" I think the Ventures song "walk dont run" was the first song I played lead guitar on aah memories smile

The first couple up there had me laughing my buns off... reminds me of a few Dad played a lot... "A boy Named Sue", "Father's Whiskers", and "Rock Island Line"

There are quite a few railroad songs he plays (he is now a retired Railroad Engineer - aka choo choo train driver).  So, here's a little Boxcar Willie:  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gYzHeuhZfuM

Re: Old Times Fun with Music

Fun with music... these guys ALWAYS put on an entertaining show!  I'm thinking they were on Hee Haw once, but that seems like an odd fit... of course, Hee Haw was always odd (and fun)!

Re: Old Times Fun with Music

Bensonp  That certainly took me back a few years.
There were a lot of little dance halls back then in Belfast.
We used to dance to Those songs. They were defenatly
The Good Old Days. No more little dance halls with a Cock Cola and Ice.
Now it is Clubs-Night Spots 24 hour opening, Drunks and Drugs
I met my wife Jean in a little dance hall It was called
The Painters Hut. They are all long gone, Just like the singers.
The Times Are A Changing. Thanks bensonp for the memory
and the rest of you guys who contributed your video.

Re: Old Times Fun with Music

Thanks Pastor.  I just love all the old things.  They sure do bring back memories.  The young people have a different set of memories for sure.  And so it should be.
heres one more oldie.

Few local pickers do this Willie Nelson song but crowds respond well to it.
