The Time Was October 1958: Music As Old As I Am

episode date - October 22, 2008

Please pardon me if I take a personal approach to today’s show, but it marks a bittersweet signpost in my life. As of today, October 22, I have ‘crossed over’ to the other side…. I’m an official member of the AARP….aww, heck, I’m fifty today.

What better reason to look at music from fifty years ago this month? As usual, we have a few stories, and plenty of great songs. Here are songs that we cover in today’s show;

1) Tears On My Pillow – Little Anthony & the Imperials

2) It’s Only Make Believe – Conway Twitty

3) Bird Dog – The Everly Brothers

4) Topsy (Parts 1 and 2) – Cozy Cole

5) Rockin’ Robin – Bobby Day

6) It’s All in the Game – Tommy Edwards

7) Summertime, Summertime – The Jaymies

8) To Know Him Is to Love Him – The Teddy Bears

9) A Lover’s Question – Clyde McPhatter

10) Lonesome Town – Ricky Nelson

11) La-Do-Dada – Dale Hawkins

12) This Little Girl’s Gone Rockin’ – Ruth Brown
