I most certainly would have been devestated if any of me friends knew I was listening to any of the Reprise Records "Rat Pack" line-up! Which if you are not familiar included Dean Martin,Frank Sinatra & Sammy Davis Jr.
Not to mention I would have been laughed off campus if they knew I liked the folksy-country humor of Roger Miller and his weird little songs like King Of The Road,Dang Me,Englannd Swings and Chug-A-Lug! Need I also explain Bobby Goldsboro?

I thought he was cute! Everyone was getting into groups like The Beatles of course, The Lovin' Spoonful, The Doors, Hendrix and others and I liked them too but it seemed a bit dull to do exactly the same thing everyone else was doing.

So I found me own little musical passions,Gordon Lightfoot included but some of my closer friends liked him too.
It was and is a relief to leave that silly mentality behind after we grow up! Whatever one likes is up to that person but in younger years we are still finding ourselves and all of our likes and dislikes. Some we will keep forever others will remain back in school days. Sorry Roger Miller & Bobby!

This has once again been whirligirl from North Dakota,good day ay?
