I checked your about page and you say you were born in 1950 so I am only six years older than you.

A very important six years in the history of television, however. We didn't get TV until I was about seven, and I still vividly remember the first time I saw a neighbor's huge cathedral set with a picture the size of a tea saucer.

We were all in bed before Peggy Lee or Nat came on (we did watch the Sullivan Show, everyone in America did.) I didn't see, or at least don't recall ever seeing Elvis on the Sullivan show.
