Some old cars to be seen too and some old songs. Perhaps you see your old car or hear your favourite song from way back then .... warning it's 15 minute long so get a cup of tea or coffee :)

Andy, I guess I did was it the VW Beatle? I owned one in 1961 red ... moved all my stuff from a 1 1/2 room appartment at that time including the TV ~grin~ took out all seats except the driver side. On stops and traffic lights people laughed at me when they did I put the flower vase on top of the TV ... LOL

Some of you may remember the hit song of 1957 by the "Diamonds"

THEY ARE STILL GREAT . . . THIS WILL PUT A SMILE ON YOUR FACE...

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. Tom Hanks father is much better looking than Tom, and even better looking with age. In the linked videos Tom Hank's father is the lead singer on the left. He still has it! Hope you enjoy.47 years apart 2 Performances --

Thanks for sharing Rolf.  Although a few years older it reminded me of the Four Seasons.  My wife and I went to see the live version of The Jersey Boys just before Christmas.  It was a fantastic show and would recommend it to anyone.
