I remember searching for Radio Luxembourg late at night on my transistor radio and getting under the bed covers with it, so my parents couldn´t hear it.
Enjoyed the reading. Glsd I looked back from over 24 hours ago. Some sad memories for sure like,Vietnam and segragation. I remember but try not to. Like to think of things that make me smile . Those sad memories, some I remember well like Kent State shooting and in Cleveland, I lived in a suburb, the rioting and insanity after Martin Luther Kings asssasination. Prefer the malt shops,tv shows-Gidget-Flipper-Adams family. Sea Monkeys bought out of the back of a comic book. Slot cars, didn't last long in my area anyway. Watching in 1969 when Armstrong walked on the moon. Boys in letterman sweaters at high school. Let's keep this going if you will. So much more. Surfin USA

The Beatles first USA appearance on Ed Sullivan Show. I was 9 but remember it well. 45 record singles and vinyl albumss. 1st was used in late 60's and hippies wearing tie dye shirts, done at home.
