Looks pretty darned good for 50, huh?
Dear readers, Our team has some terrific blog authors. My strength doesn’t lie in fabulously informative posts with excellent research. I’m not particularly clever enough to come up with great guessing blog posts and sadly…. I don’t have a friend named Sally, who quite frankly, seems just as interested in all that cake as she does finding out about our team. No, what I have is useless information and I am chock full of it….. so walk with me….
Did you know that this year marks the 50th anniversary of the release of Pillow Talk? The movie with Rock Hudon and Doris Day. She played a sassy and successful interior designer. I bet she would have found just the spot for these.

TV show, Juke Box Jury, started its long run on the BBC. If you have a minute (or 6) check out this clip on YouTube. A very young David McCallum is a judge. And yes the video is from 1960 and not 1959 but still….

"Charlie Brown" by The Coasters was banned by the BBC because it contained the word "spitball." Haha, How crazy is that when you think about the language in music today?
Coasters, get it???******************
So there you have it... that was 1959! Wouldn't it be great to get together again in 2059 and chat about this year??
Have fun, Life is good!
