Brooklyn Back When - Open Thread

...THE BEATLES WERE GENIUS.......AND THEIR MUSIC MADE ME THINK
OF ALL THE OTHER GREAT MUSIC FROM THE 60'S.....SOME OF IT BEING
THE JAMES BOND THEME AND MOVIE SOUNDTRACKS.......ALSO LETS NOT
FORGET THAT GREAT MOTOWN SOUND....TEMPTATIOS,SUPREMES,FOUR TOPS.....SMOKEY...LITTLE STEVIE WONDER......MARTHA AND THE VANDELLAS.....MARVIN GAYE.......AND THE BRITISH INVASION THAT FOLLOWED THE BEATLES......THE 60'S WAS A GOLD MINE FOR MUSIC...
MANY NEW SOUNDS......THE DOORS....HENDRIX.....CREAM.....MOODY BLUES......PINK FLOYD........
........AND ALL THOSE ARTIST PLAYED REAL ACOUSTIC INSTRAMENTS....
..NO MACHINES.......OR SYNCERSISORS....NO LIP SYNC......

Janet
I put it on craigs list, had to lower the amount 75 dollars and now 16 people responded. 2 couples came lat night.
Joe good Luck at the doctor. Eat alot of steak LOL

That's a nice welcome Joe, just teasing you.

Yes Joe the 60's the best music.....I agree

....AS A MUSICIAN,I THINK THE 60'S ALSO INSPIRED MORE KIDS TO PICK
UP AN INSTRAMENT AND LEARN TO PLAY.....ALTHOUGH,IT'S WAS MOSTLY GUITARS.........BUT DRUM SALES DID SPIKE A BIT IN THE 60'S AFTER RINGO AND THE BEATLES PLAYED ON ED SULLIVAN SHOW.....IT WAS ONE OF THE FIRST TIME THE DRUMMER WAS SCENE UP FRONT AND ON A RISER........KIDS LIKE ME TOOK NOTICE......
....MY DAD WOULD TELL ME WHEN I WAS A SMALL KID,I WOULD BANG ON THINGS ALL THE TIME.....POTS,PANS....THEN I MOVED UP TO METAL GARBAGE PAIL LIDS(REMEMBER THEM).....MAILBOXES AND THE LAMP POST ON THE CORNER WHERE I LIVED.....SO IT WAS A NATURAL THING FOR ME TO PLAY DRUMS....

Could you believe, I never liked cartoons except Betty Boop, Mighty Mouse and Popeye. I used to watch Sky King, Tales of the Texas Rangers and Lassie on Saturday Mornings.

omg sky king and lassie on sunday nights i think. Me too was not crazy about cartoons, just really watched popeye and betty boop. I hated that one with Natasha what was that, the little guy with a cigar i think

DITTO JANET....SKY KING......FURY.......MY FRIEND FLICKER

My favorite nighttime shows was Rawhide ,Wagon Train, Twilight Zone & Alfred Hitchcock. When one of the western shows was on Friday night, I used to say to my mother "Give me my grub", lol. I really wanted it in a tin camping bowl. I do know every word to Rawhide, lol.

ROCKY AND BULLWIKLE....BORIS AND NATASHA

I HATE THAT CARTOON. I REMEMBER COMING HOME FOR LUNCH FROM ST. JOHNS AND EATING CREAMCHEESE AND JELLY SANDWICH AND WATCHING THAT CARTOON. CREAM CHEESE AND JELLY ABOUT 3 TIMES A WEEK BECAUSE MY MOM PROBABLY COULD NOT AFFORD COLD CUTS EXCEPT BOLOGNA (spell) BOLONY IN ( BROOKLYNESE) AND MUSTARD AND THE WONDER BREAD WOULD STICK TO THE ROOF OF YOUR MOUTH LOL WOULD NOT GIVE UP THAT PART OF MY LIFE FOR NOTHING.
