I had many favorites in the 50s, mostly ballad types, here were some of my favorites, might have spilled into the early 60s too.? Burl Ives, Jimmy Rogers, Vaughn Monroe, Billy Vaughn, Tennessee Ernie, Eddy Arnold, Frankie Lane, Marty Robbins, Patti Page, Joni James, Brenda Lee, Connie Francis, Fats Domino, Platters, Kingston Trio, Brothers Four and I'm sure others.

Subject: [dalton59] Favorite songs of the 50's

We're blessed to have been there in 1959 to hear live the last of the
50's music. What's your favorite song from the fabulous 50's? There
will never be another era like that.

What was your favorite song?

Who was your favorite singer?

Who was your favorite group?

Remember the old 45 rpm vinyls with the big hole in the middle and the
lousy sound (which was state of the art then before 33 lp albums)? I
thought I had the deluxe record player back then. I think it was a
Voice of Music (VM) two tone record player with a hinged lid. Wow!
Even though I got an occasional shock from the stupid thing, it was as
they say "groovy" (no pun intended since, remember records had grooves
in them). It must have gone to the great record player in the sky
graveyard. Can't recollect what happened to it. Lost in space I guess.

I still listen to the oldies on Sirius satellite radio (Channel 05)and
can recollect (more or less) where I was when they play the songs of
the 50's with no commercials.

I think I still have my old 45's but I haven't listened to them in a
long time because I don't have a record player that plays 45 rpm
records.

I still have a JVC turntable that plays 33 vinyls. The good news is
that I bought a USB turntable to convert vinyls to CD's or some Ipod
MP3 (whatever that is--grandchildren understand completely). The bad
news is that I bought it about six months ago and is still in the box
waiting for me to comprehend how to get the vinyls converted on the
computer to CD's. Talk about a generation gap.

Personally, I don't really trust anything I can't see spinning around.
I made the big step to 8 track tapes, then cassette tapes (which I
still use to tape recordings from the Sirius satellite radio), and
CD's. Now that CD's are almost obsolete, I guess I'm almost obsolete
too. That MP3 thing is a mystery to me.

Like to hear from you if you can remember back that far.

I was one of the bad boys who learned how to play pool and cards in the back rooms from the "old guys".? Loved to go to Brownies for those sloppy burgers, fries, and cherry cokes.? "Those Were the Days".? I remember returning to Dalton after living in CA with my mom from 52-56.? Dad brought me back, to stay out of trouble, and boarded me with my grandma Warnock.? To keep me out of trouble, (you know those bad California boys), he, me, Coaches McFarren and Biggs had a night meeting.? I ended up in football, basketball, track, baseball, band (trumpet), chorus, and drama.? Plus in my spare time, whenever that was, I had to work in his construction business.?

Pat,? You brought an excellent idea of buidings to remember in Dalton.l? Being a country kid, I thought it was "worldly" to go to Bown's for cherry cokes and pretzels.? Can remember saving money from giving piano lessons so I could buy hershey almond bars as we left.? And I had forgotten how much I enjoyed going to the 5 & 10 if not to buy, just to look around.? Didn't get to "window shop" in Kidron or Wooster since my parents were "practical minded".? "You don't go to the store unless you need to buy something".? Gone are those days!? I knew the guys went to the "back" and played pool but were the girls really "forbidden" to go to bacl to the "depths of sin?!" or was it just an assumed role play for the genders?? I also remember thinking that it was neat for the Dalton kids to be friendly and inclusive of us Kidron farm kids.? Maybe "you all" were the seeds for becoming ecumenical and global in my perspective in life.? I credit my cousin Jon
Amstutz who played cello but was good friends of Bruce Schantz and the basketball player, Dannie Thomas, for believing gender gaps don't have to exist.? He let me help build bridges in the ditch out beside his house along the road.? He also told me that Miss Santchi called him down in the hall for whistling "a happy tune".? "Gentleman don't do that in public.?"? He and I howled about that one.?
But I'm getting of the subject of Class of '59.?

?

What happened to Mrs. Himes our 3rd grade teacher and Mrs. Edwards, the 4th grade teacher?? She was the only teacher that made me cry and all she did was repremand me for talking when I shouldn't have.??? ?What a cry baby I was.

?

Hey you trumpet trio guys, remember who accompanied you through State compeition?? Vic Gerber seemed to give me all the good accompaniment jobs.? I did that all through college and later at Salem College, Winsont-Salem where I got paid for doing so!

?

I also credit Vic Gerber for helping me believe that music and sports cooperate and are not rivals.? Communication between band directors and coaches were possible but I didn't realize that I had to make it happed until my first year of teaching jr hi music in Wauseon, OH.? The coaches there said "If my son had a choice, I make him play football and be a man!"? To which I should have replied, I'd like my son to take music and be a gentleman!

?

You guys are all gentlemen who also played football, thank you very much!

?

Later.

Pat:

I think the cobbler was Adrian Spires. I thought his cobbler shop
was across the street on your side of the street. I'm probably wrong
but I like the name Adrian Spires. The best part of Wright's 5 and 10
was the Black Jack, Teaberry and Clove gum. I think somebody still
makes those brands and they cost $1.00 or more per pack.

I also remember Vandersal's Jewelry store. When I lived in Cleveland
in 1963/64, I didn't trust big city stores, so I went back to Dalton
to buy an engagement ring/wedding ring combo deal from Vandersal for
my future wife Rose. She still has the rings even though she lost
the diamond twice when it dislodged itself from the ring. Somehow I
managed to find the diamond. Old Vandy must have been helping me out
somehow. It pays to shop local.

Thanks for the great recall you have.

Pat:

I think the cobbler was Adrian Spires. I thought his cobbler shop
was across the street on your side of the street. I'm probably wrong
but I like the name Adrian Spires. The best part of Wright's 5 and 10
was the Black Jack, Teaberry and Clove gum. I think somebody still
makes those brands and they cost $1.00 or more per pack.

I also remember Vandersal's Jewelry store. When I lived in Cleveland
in 1963/64, I didn't trust big city stores, so I went back to Dalton
to buy an engagement ring/wedding ring combo deal from Vandersal for
my future wife Rose. She still has the rings even though she lost
the diamond twice when it dislodged itself from the ring. Somehow I
managed to find the diamond. Old Vandy must have been helping me out
somehow. It pays to shop local.

Thanks for the great recall you have.

Mr. Douglas the Weaselmeister
