"The 60's"
Peace, Love, Freedom, Happiness
Here is where you can probably guess my age by me telling you that I went to high school, graduated, got married and had two babies in the 60's. The penny candy stores (and I do mean penny) High school dances every month, riding through the fast food place and a carhop coming to the car, stopping after school at the local hang out for a "cherry coke" (I think they were a quarter) and putting a dime in the juke box, songs I could understand the words to, drive in movies were "in". Great TV, bell bottoms, and flower power. The peace marches. I thought weed was something that grew in your yard. It was pretty safe to walk at night.
They were exciting and turbulent all combined

Let's take a look back at a few of the things I can remember
The music holds special memories for those of us who grew up with it. You could understand the words, you could sing along with it, it was the music you fell in love with.
That falling in love music. Ok, I didn't dress like this all the time so we'll pretend it's the Prom

I thought about putting this part on with such happy music in the background, but this was also a part of the 60's. Part of those turbulent times we had along with the GREAT times of the
