Does anyone remember the novelty record "Flying Saucer by Dickie Goodman that used originally performed lyrics from popular songs at the time (the 50s)as dialogue about flying saucers?
"This is John Cameron Cameron on the spot. And now I believe we´re about to hear the words of the first spaceman ever to land on Earth."
"Womp bop a loo bop a womp bam boom..".--“Tutti Frutti,” Little Richard
There were a few novelty records from that period.... Goodman's was the best (or worst, depending on your view) of them. Check out how many great singers and songs were used in making this recording:

You know I didn't recogniz the title of that song, nor the artist but playing it, yes, I do remember it. Gosh that was centuries ago.

"Mankind must put an end to war before war puts an end to mankind. War will exist until that distant day when the conscientious objector enjoys the same reputation and prestige that the warrior does today." JFK
Anyone remember these lyrics? I had it by Jan & Dean but I think the original was from the 50's. A fun song.
Who put the bomp In the bomp bah bomp bah bomp Who put the ram In the rama lama ding dong Who put the bop In the bop shoo bop shoo bop Who put the dip In the dip da dip da dip Who was that man I'd like to shake his hand He made my baby Fall in love with me (yeah)

TIS, I remember it like it was just yesterday. How about "26 Miles Across the Sea"?
Also, how about the instrumentals like "Telstar", and "Red River Rock (which was Red River Valley redone)"?
I do remember, but I aways thought the title was Santa Catalina.
Telstar was one of my favorite instrumentals and I liked Red River Valley too. Of course, very big in the late 50's, A Summer Place.

What about "Stranger on the Shore" by Acker Bilk? Perhaps the most hauntingly beautiful instrumental I've EVER heard.
Sure I do. A very beautiul song. Wasn't there a famous instrumental from the movie, "The Summer of '42"? Remember that one?
Also, although I don't know when the original release was, "Tequila" is a very very famous tune as well.

I had to listen to it.... and you guys and gals might enjoy it as well. It's Acker Bilk playing "Stranger on the Shore" from the early '60s. There is something so sad about it, something so hauntingly beautiful.....
Fans of the movie, "Mr. Holland's Opus" will recognize this song. This is what Mr. Holland was teaching the young gal who later went on to become governor of California. Enjoy!

I'll add one more - "Harlem Nocturne". I consider this the quintessential New York City instrumental. It somehow captures the feel of the City at night.
Written a long time ago, it gained its most popularity as the the theme song for "Mickey Hammer" (a tough NYC private investigator).
Very cool, very New York!

Yes TIS, "Santa Catalina, the island of romance, romance, romance, romance."
I forgot about Acker Bilk and "Summer Place". How about the theme from "Exodus"? I remember that I taught myself to play it on the piano ... white keys only. And "Moon River".

Long as I remember The rain been coming down. Clouds of Mystery pouring Confusion on the ground. Good men through the ages, Trying to find the sun; And I wonder, Still I wonder, Who'll stop the rain.

Okay, since this afternoon it's official. After last winter, I didn't wanna jinx it as I was really close, but it didn't work out. I officially now have my own money pit! Gonna spend the next week moving all this effing chit, which will NOT be fun. But in the long run, it'll be a great thing!
I studied Italian for 2 semesters. Not once was a "C" pronounced as a "G", and never was a trailing "I" ignored! And I'm from Jersey! lol

Congratulations Geoff! I'm sure your love all the room in a house. How many bedrooms? 1 story or 2? Big yard? Fill us in, or better yet post a picture of yourself sitting on his front porch swing
Good luck. I know how exciting buying a home is.

Congratulations JG! I wish this new house brings you lots of joyful memories.

The listing might read 4 BR, but technically only 2. It's a split level (half flight up, half flight down, from the main level). Master bedroom attached to an office room (walk thru the office to get to master; perfect for me), plus a guest room, plus another "bedroom" but without a closet (so technically not a real bedroom), but for me a storage room probably.
2 full baths, but, the downstairs bath -- which is HUGE -- also has the laundry facilities. And a huge jacuzzi tub for my back. Family room is also downstairs, middle is kitchen and dining/living room (no need for living room, so mostly a dining room), and upstairs are all the bedrooms and office.
Large yard used to have an in-ground pool so eventually I'll have to fix that up, but still nice size. He left the beautiful cedar furniture.
Garage is attached, but only accessible from outside unless/until I add a door, but it's nice and big. Better than I have now, since I have nothing, so no biggy.
Kitchen is on the small side, but nicely done. Grill in the stove-top might get some use.
I'm mostly happy just to finally have a dishwasher, food disposal, washer and dryer!

Geoff, I am so very happy for you!! What a thrill! And I'm glad that you took advantage of the buyer's market, the great rates and the tax credit for first-time home buyers!
May your home be filled with happiness, sweetie. You deserve it.
And Mr. Babe wants to come by and hang out at the pool. And perhaps play a game of "catch".
