Ah...those were the days....
Memories??
I can remember being an involuntary dance partner for my 3 sisters.....on the plus side..I learned to jive when I was 6 or 7.
Loved "Bill Haley & the Comets", and at the same time enjoyed the music of Benny Goodman etc....although that was "swing".
Couldn't get enough of that semi-hollow body guitar sound, the early use of spring reverb, the piano players, who actually knew how to play, the sound that a drummer (the likes of Buddy Rich) could get out of what today might be considered a simple kit.
