It’s The 50s Again!

January 17, 2024Memories Medley

Last Wednesday, it was my intention to add a few 50s songs into a rock and roll medley. That plan got thrown out the window when I decided to make the entire medley a 50s thing, focusing on the pioneers of the genre.

This week, I sat down at my mixing board fully intending to do the same thing, but while I was looking at the songs I had lined up to play, it occurred to me that it might be wise throw a few Doo-Wop songs and slower hits into this mix, along, of course, with more rock classics.

Programming Change: I know I said tomorrow’s medley would be one from the archives. I changed my mind. Instead it will be another archived Sixties Revolution!

    Great mix! I don’t believe I ever heard the song by Jackie Wilson.
    Elvis certainly was amongst a good crowd.

    I put maple syrup into my coffee…yum!

    Enjoy the sunshine, Ray.

      Thanks, Jim! 🥰
      Jackie’s song reached #20 in 1959. Elvis was in very good company!
      Maple syrup in your coffee? My blood sugar spiked just reading about that! LOL
