I can only dream of visiting there so I was glad that we saw them on the Good Morning America Show this week! LOL! <br />You know, I am really glad that I was around for the 1960's.

Our son was always impressed with me because we would listen to songs on the radio in the car (as he was growing up) and I could pretty much sing along with every single song! Now, I wouldn't always know who SANG every song I was singing! We spoke so much of music, it is no wonder he grew up to write music himself! And I am happy that you learn a few things from me. Let me know if you ever win anything at your Pub Quiz thanks to me! xKay G.https://www.blogger.com/profile/07228498846814735537noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4716894977482967985.post-11029588743474402512023-03-03T15:55:30.065-05:002023-03-03T15:55:30.065-05:00Thank you!

I find it so hard to think of all the people who take their own lives, they must be in so much pain but if only they could get the help they need, we might still have them....<br />Now, I do agree that Dolly really isn't Rock & Roll but you know, I like her so much and you has done so much good, I really don't mind, they could give her an award for OPERA for all I care! LOL! I still wish I had gotten the Moderna vaccine instead of the Pfizer one, Dolly putting up, I think a million dollars for the Moderna one.

I had long thought that the Easter Island people rolled the statues on logs. I looked up an article( https://www.discovermagazine.com/planet-earth/unraveling-the-story-behind-easter-islands-resilient-statues). It said that the island's forests persisted hundreds of years after the Polynesian settlers arrived, that the trees weren't cut down rapidly to move the statues. It also said that the oral history of the people talked about walking statues. This suggests to me that perhaps the statues walked like in your video. However some statues were massive, weighing up to 81 tons! Such a statue would be hard to get rocking. I was sad to learn that there was a bad fire on Easter Island last October and many of the statues were charred beyond repair.<br /><br />Thanks for the musical memories. I loved Del Shannon and Peter and Gordon's music when I was a teenager. Hearing Kevin Bacon singing Runaway was surprising. I did not know that Del Shannon committed suicide. How tragic!<br /><br />Have a great weekend, Kay!Fundy Bluehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02132147630106183853noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4716894977482967985.post-25698955104825463622023-03-03T03:02:26.136-05:002023-03-03T03:02:26.136-05:00I only had time for one video right now (busy day ...I only had time for one video right now (busy day ahead), and chose the 60s one from that TV show.

So sad that Del Shannon committed suicide without knowing that his work would be acknowledged by induction into the Hall of Fame. Personal opinion, but I think that recent inductees into the R&R HOF are not remotely part of that music genre.
