The date is 1972, Get Smart just ended and The Sandy Duncan show was starting so I go to my room to play Pong. After all, I was the first kid on the block with my pong game. I would put my earphones on which weighed about 5 pounds because there was a built in AM/FM radio and just play pong forever. Watching those two little paddles chasing the ball while listening to I Can See Clearly Now by Johnny Nash, Bang A Gong (Get It On) by T. Rex, and Use Me by Bill Withers just made me dance as I played feverish with that pong game.
I also remember growing up watching Hazel, Bewitched, Love American Style, Carol Burnett Show, The Brady Bunch, Bullwinkle and Friends, Room 222, Marcus Welby, the Mod Squad, The Monkees, Patty Duke Show, The Flying Nun, and the list can go on and on. My sister and I took turns playing Ben casey, I got to be Ben she was the patient. Speaking of my sister, we saw the Monkees together and she along with hundred of other women excited to see Davy Jones, fainted. I laughed because all she could talk about was seeing him, then she fainted and missed part of it.
Well, I just turned 50 and gosh darn it, I miss the old days when times were easier, life was breezier music and TV were cheesier. So here on my space, I will recreate some of those fun times, blog about the good old days and just stroll down memory lane when times were fun, gas was cheap, and life was pretty good! Welcome to my page take your shoes off, pour a nice soft drink, and turn back the clock to a time that was carefree.
