What a fun reminiscing based on your musical memories, Sally. I enjoyed reading and reviewing it. Your image is perfect. I like that you listed other songs/dates of ROrbison. He was a powerhouse in the industry. Thanks for the video, too.
Thanks for sharing.
Respectfully, Jan

I didn't grow up on rock n roll, though I did manage to hear some of them now and again. Though not really related, there is a successful thoroughbred stallion named Star Guitar. I'm wondering if that is how he got his name. Anyway, great choice for #50. I am along for the countdown. Look forward to the next.

    Just thought I would throw that in. Don't have any sired by him yet, but who knows?

Thank you, Sally, for bring to air Roy Orbison. He was then and still is a great singer. "Only the lonely," "Crying," and "Oh, Pretty Woman" I remember very well. Thank you for bring a great voice back from the past.

Hi Sally - Oh, what a marvelous journey you are about to take us on. Those songs got me through many tough times. I love Roy Orbison. My husband used to play "Oh, Pretty Woman" for me all the time. Your story gave me a little chill. Thanks and look forward to many more. Smiles and hugs - Carol

This is a great idea and I'm going to enjoy it because I've liked every sound you've posted. I do like Rob Orbison. Maybe our musical taste is a lot alike.

Yes, Roy did a great job. I remember the days very well. Pretty Woman and many others. I had a bad Mercury and the girl of my dreams. We kept the dragster busy. It is a wonder I am still alove.
Good one Sal Wish I had a six.

Hello Sal.

For two years in HS I worked for a local radio station and did the DJ work for live dances. I was allowed to keep the records in my personal collection. I was paid for the dances but not for the "on air" work. I was considered an apprentice. I had hundreds of 45s. I got "fired" for playing popular music on the air. HAHAHAHA

    You're as close to a real rockstar as I know. These garage bands are in the best in my eyes. But I see you went for another life in a military career and marriage, and family. Those are very admirable. Thanks so much for checking this out. I hope you will stay tuned for the other 49. Sending along my very best, dear Z. Pal Sal :))

    Hey Sal.

    Thank you for your wonderful words but I'm just a guy who couldn't decide what he wanted to do when he grew up, so I didn't bother. My 75th birthday is this year and my wife is hoping I will at least act like I'm 12.
    You never know. HAHAHAHAHAHA

    The Lord has been very good to me in my life.

I always enjoy listening to Roy Orbison and especially like the song, 'Pretty Woman'. I read that the song-writer's ending line was:
I guess tomorrow night we'll see
there are more fish in the sea.

Roy liked the upbeat idea of the woman turning around, as do we all.

    Thank you very much for the excellent review and insightful comments. I'm so glad you enjoyed this. You'll have to stay tuned to see which songs I post next. I wish I could afford to do this daily but I can't. I always like to give a little bonus when I post.
    Sending along my very best, Sally :))

What a trip down memory lane you provide me (and so many of your readers!). Many thanks for that. I still have a stack of 45 's and LP's (wonder if that makes me a pack rat...if it does, so be it). Always enjoy your work.

I am ready for some cheer... so great music it is! I'm so glad you enjoyed it and I hope you will stay tuned for the other 49. :))
    Sending along my very best with many thanks,
