Music of the 1950s!

Let’s get this over with right now.  This is the part where I admit that I have a total soft spot for 1950s and 1960s.  If I capable of commanding that I’d been alive during these decades, I would do so in a heartbeat. But that kind of technology doesn’t exist yet.  And so I settle for mooning over the vintage fashion from the time, the clean lines of the cars, and the bold colors of the 1950s.

I’ve sampled some choice tunes this week that will have you back in time at the soda shop within minutes!
