The 50's Were the Best Years ....

I am watching the Grammy's tonight. I don't mean to criticize but whatever happened to good singing? I have Sirrus Radio and I listen to 50's pop mostly and some old country. I think the best music was in the 50's. I know Elvis was the best singer of all times. I am sorry folks but there will never be another singer in my lifetime or yours better than Elvis. And then there was Jerry Lee Lewis, Fats Domino, Little Richard . Brenda Lee and Connie Francis. Such good singers of the 50's.

I do like country now but I also loved George Jones, Gary Stewart, Tammy Wynette and even Johnny Cash. Of course they are all gone. Since I listen to Sirrus Radio  I don't hear much new music but I see on the Grammy's Taylor Swift is still a winner. A lot of that RapI heard tonight  you don't have to have a voice . Just talking.

It's not just singing from the 50's either. Cars of that era were great too. I can see a 55' or 56' Ford or Chevy and instantly know what model and make it is. The cars we have  now I cant tell what kind or what year it is. I wonder why that is? My brother restores these old cars I am talking about. They are a beauty when he gets through.

Then there was the way we dressed . Bobby sox and loafers and what ever those black and white shoes with laces were called. I still have some. Pleated skirts and tight skirts were in style. Some of these styles have come back. I am so glad! I have a tight skirt and pleated skirt. Shifts were in style back then and I loved them. My Mom made my clothes and I could just tell her about a style and she could make it. I was in style!

Movies from way back have been remade too. As well as shows on TV have been redone. I wonder if that will happen with things they have now. Will the kids of today think this was the best years ? I guess it is the years of technology but I don't know about music.

I am just glad I can say I am glad I was a teenager in the 50's. I remember Elvis well! I remember when Buddy Holley and Ritchie Valens got killed in a plane crash. As well as Patsy cline and Ricky Nelson. My brother use to have a 36' Ford he took me for a ride in. There were a lot of things we done back then that cant be done now. But we had no cell phones or computers but we didn't miss it. We had books to read. I grew up with Nancy Drew. And I am so glad!
