-- In retrospect, the 50s were such an age of innocence. Too bad the 60s came along and ruined it. --

For those just a bit younger than you, at least the early 60's (through '66 or so, maybe longer) were just as magical.

Tommy Boyce and Bobby Hart; plenty of others I'm sure you'll recall.

Not meant to intrude on this thread though, which is all about the 50's, afterall!

Thank you for your comments on my little posting.

Yes, Cbolt, I do vividly remember Tommy Boyce and Bobby Hart.

As regards the 60s, I did have reference to the anti-war, anti-very thing aspects of the music but I also acknowledge that the early 60s music was outstanding. I was working as a DJ on a Talladega radio station in 1963 and I just loved the music.
