So what was playing on the old gramophone that year?

in the early 50s, all i can remember it was the time of the big bands, like billy cotton and singers from the films like Doris Day, Bing Crosby, they did not even now what some american singers looked like.
as a teenager we had the 60s sound and the best time for a young person to be alive. we could get the train to London for a £1, we would go there a couple of nights a week, the smoke was still alive in the early hours.
return to Colchester it would be dead at 10pm just a couple of drunk squaddies roaming about.

 

[Ronnie]

Your the same era as my old man. Would of loved to been young during the 60's.
