Kids these days can't believe that life actually was better in the 50's.

Innocent. Clean. Slower. Safer. Patriotic. Family-centered. God-centered.

I never heard a swear word until I was in 7th grade.

I miss those days.

I’m old enough to remember those days, and I miss them too.

Miller was also an incredible oboe player, and his recording of the Mozart Oboe concerto is a classic!

I’ll never forget the “bouncing ball”.

I too remember the 50s fondly. Some things are better now but overall it was a far better America.

I also remember my parents taking us to the drive-in theater because they charged by the car and they had 5 kids.

I took my Daughter to the drive-in in the mid 1980s in Garden City, KS. We saw “Gremlins”. A few days later it closed. We had a cooler full of cokes and a big bag of popcorn. Probably one of the last ones in the country.
