Feasted my eyes and ears watching and listening in YouTube from various artists of old. This was triggered by Pete’s post called Significant Songs (197). I love the Doobie Brothers. I remember the songs of my youth, those years when I was growing up in the province and all we had was the radio. Yes, back in the 60’s, we had no TV. It was only during the early years of the 70’s when my brother and I were already studying in Metro Manila that we had a black and white TV. Then came the color television and everything changed.
Back to the music.
I actually uploaded many songs on my wall at Facebook like America’s Sister Golden Hair and Ventura Highway, Spandau Ballet’s True, Toto’s Africa, Take On Me by a-h-a, IZ’s Somewhere Over The Rainbow and Bee Gees’ Massachusetts. I laughed while watching Let’s Dance by Chris Montes. So that was how they did it several decades ago, the dancing – the foot works and hand gestures. It was really a happy tune.
Back in those years, I have memorized even the lyrics of the songs, danced to it and sang along. Really YouTube is a rich source of all those songs of yesteryears.
I used to love ‘Lets Dance’. 🙂 But that was in 1962, and I was only 10 years old.
Nothing evokes memories like music, except perhaps old photos.
Best wishes, Pete.

My grandchildren love trying to teach me the latest dances with all their gestures. One must have to be young to be able to bend like that.

I also use the website Spotify.com. I set up a free account a few years ago. You can create playlists, and I have two different playlists of old songs. Of course, I also created playlists on YouTube and listen to those. YouTube has songs that aren’t available on Spotify and vice versa, due to copyright issues here in the U.S.
