Monday Morning Workout!

It’s Monday and today you’re getting a medley of uptempo rock and roll, specifically songs from 1956 to 1964.

It’s all designed to put your head in a proper frame of mind for the week. So grab your dancing shoes – or a chair if that’s your thing – and head back to the golden age of rock and roll! If you were fortunate enough to grow up in the 50s and 60s, this is a trip down memory lane. If you grew up in a later era, this is a chance to hear what you missed!

Memories … That’s What We’re All About

Maybe we’ll go to Comtu Falls I’m talkin Ray they used to use real Crystalls there and in the background there was a rebel DJ from the local radio station sayin’ doo lang and they say he was a soft spoken guy and they say he was so fine but he new it was late and being so fine he new he had to get her home!! It was late and he was going to run out of gas!! Ray I don’t know why the girls love you! I know you were lonely and you can’t sleep but Ray having a nick name “Frogman” didn’t help!! Then you loved the calender girl!! Every day of the year!! Every day of the year your heart was in a whril!! Man did you love your lovely calender girl!! Now you’ve started by putting a hold on another girl look what you’ve started now all she wants to be with you!! She is so fine!!

    Well, they sure did get my heart pumping. I love these trips back in time, and listening to the music that we all grew up with. This was fantastic what a great choice of songs for the medley. This is a treat I know a lot of people aren’t too happy with me for constantly reminding them of their age, But hey it is what it is! We had the best of everything. When I think back, we are the best cars were the best music we had the best hairdos, the best clothes. Whoeee baby! You’re the best Ray! ❤️

    I’m late chiming in but always enjoy the medleys. Whenever I listen, I think back to the time and what was important to me then. We did live in the best of times …. and you’re right we have the best memories.

    Our lives are made up of memories and we are lucky to have so many. Thanks for reminding us of that …. Hope you’re out there rocking the day, Ray!
