Dear Sally

It's so kind of you to take special requests. Revived memories of a radio programme back in the day in my country of birth, Guyana. It was called Birthday Requests. Young girls would listen breathless, hoping boyfriends ( or secret admirers) would request a special song for their birthdays!

I'm not a particular fan of Ricky Nelson but I knew his hit records, Poor Little Fool comes to mind.

Thanks for introducing me to Garden Party

Stay safe healthy and blessed

Julia

Sadly, I'm not familiar with this artists music, although I have certainly heard of him. I love the lyrics to his song! And I love your jukebox hits. Always well written and interesting. Oh, and I was able to listen to "500 Miles," from your last post. :-) Thanks for sharing, Sally. Hugs.

Hello Sal :)
Thanks for the introduction to Ricky Nelson!
I wasn't familiar with him, or his music until right now...
Another enjoyable track from your top 50 - you have great taste (and so does Gloria!)
Best wishes as always, Debra x

    Thank you for the wonderful review and kind comments. I'm so glad I introduced you to Ricky Nelson. He wasn't as popular over in the UK. I'm so glad you gave him a try. Sending along my very best, Sally XOs...

As I usually do, I enjoyed the music you play. I remember the Ozzie and Harriet show and the the boys. He did change his style over time. I liked some earlier music better but I learned to like Garden Party.

I can't really speak about the TV show as I didn't watch it, but I love the song. It seemed almost like a protest song to my young ears. Wasn't he killed in a plane crash? He was a talented singer. Thank you for sharing this brilliant series. :)
