I love "I'm moving on", "Hello Love" and "I've been everywhere". Wonder if I still have the records? Hmmmm
Hey, just remembered, I'm not an old fart! But still like those old country songs! Makes me think of our sunday drives in the old Ford wagon and my dad singing. Usually didn't know a whole song just being goofy singing the parts he did know. lol
I may have a couple unopened Hank Snow LP's from the 50's that I've kept around...
Good stuff.

Maybe there's just something in the air, but a thread on "getting older" just opened in another car chatbox that I read and post on frequently.
I wonder what the age definition of "old fart" is? 40? 50? 60? 70? Guess it's all relative, but being born in 1943, I qualify.
When a few of us grammar school "kids" get together, we figure that we're pretty lucky to have made it this far. (We've recently lost two of the participants that joined us in 2000 for a New York Harbor cruise. That was a great cruise, especially viewing the brightly lit Twin Towers.)
But, it's been a good run.
Just the changes in music and technology blows your mind.

I guess if it's a 10 yr old then an old fart is probably 30! lol Music has sure changed along with the technology. Won't be throwing out my records but sure would be nice if they could capture the sound a record has when the transfer them onto CD.
Was at FE's yesterday and of course the oldies was on the radio and it made me think of the song 16 candles by the crests. My 16th birthday I was sitting in the driveway of my mom and dads, in the shotrod listening to Sixteen candles on 8 track. Funny how we or at least I would think most of us have certain songs that put us in a time and place in the past isn't it?
just home from the marines -- life was good -- had a job in a flyingA gas station- was dateing a girl that became my xwife--- did i tell ya life was good --
Thanks Rich! Now if I could only really go back and start over from that point. Guess I did in a round about way, get a car out of the deal that I still have today! Thinnk it was only a month or two after my 16th that he got rid of it.
Love it, dating the girl that became your xwife.
'62 I was playing in the dirt and "helping" my dad in the oil and grease in the garage.
1975 I was dating the boy that I would become engaged to and then loaded up what was then my car and moved back home on april fools day 1978. lol

1962, I was 19, a Steelworker (Alcoa Aluminum), racing my 57 Chevy every Sunday at Englishtown, NJ, and getting ready for Fort Dix.
In the early 60's, real Doo wop had past it's peak, and the English Invasion hadn't started yet, but there were still some great songs on the old AM radio.
Up on the Roof, Peppermint Twist, Sherry, Return to Sender, She Cried.................just to name a very, very few.
