Another program–on PBS–that begs recognition: The 50’s: Magic Moments.  All those wonderful songs from the 1950’s.  Many of the original artists performing their hit songs (over 300 performers).  I haven’t heard many of those songs for decades!!  In my humble opinion, music that surpasses the popular music of today (IMHO).  

I watched… and listened to music of The Four Aces, Pat Boone, Mel Carter, The Crew-Cuts, The Diamonds, The McGuire Sisters, Patti Page, The Four Preps, Debbie Reynolds, and many I failed to list here.

The 50’s: I was a young wife (1952) with two precious sons (1955 & 1957).  As an Army family, we lived many places in the States, and Newfoundland, and Paris, France.

Postscript, Sunday, August 19, 2012, 9:30 PM: On PBS tonight, a “popular,” modern-day vocalist that I can relate to: Jackie Evancho: Music of the Movies.  She has such a beautiful voice!!
