watched it all the time,, [censored] has done so much for TV, he stated that he would still try to do the New Yrs eve show...nice to hear from you,hope all is well with Oly,,regards,Fred

[censored] Clark?Let's see if we can make this truck related;thinking,thinking........ WARNING WARNING,OFF TOPIC

Truck related? Yes. The television show American Dreams features the 1960's lives of two families whose male heads work in a TV store. The store has an Advance Design Chevrolet Truck - my bet is that it is a true Stovebolt (having an in-line 6-cylinder engine). The daughter in one family is a regular dancer in American Bandstand.

By the way, back to the original question: "How many remember "The American Band Stand?" I remember it and give it a 10 'cause I liked the variety of rhythmic beats but my girfriend only gave 10s to the songs that were easy to dance to.

As I was out loading dad's 57 with corn so we could get it grounded into cattle feed, I would run into the house and watch on our old black and white. American Bandstand!! Loved that show, If it was a slow song I give it a 10, fast song a 7 something about wiggling your butt was against the law.

popcorn The Truth is Out There (Back to the shop Oh yea)

Hey Popcorn,

I agree about the slow songs but even in conservative Virginia I found a way to appreciate wiggling butts during faster songs (not mine - the fairer one that were often wiggling in glee and with abandon).

Those were the good ole days, just a soph in High school in 57 but boy, loved those cars,car-hops,music and just plain clean fun,,,

Yeah them were the good old days.Lets see 1957,just discharged from Uncle Sams Army,got a good paying job,bought a new 57 Phord convertible,312 cu in,245 HP.oh yeah standard shift,it was a very fast car in its day.It beat everything in the county,except a 57 Olds J2 stick,and a 57 Chevy,with 2 4s.Didnt have much time to watch ole [censored] Clark on TV,but I sure liked the music of that era.

Except for music from guys like Jerry Lee Lewis or other early Rockabilly and Blues artists, I don't care for oldies,it's just mayonnaise head music.
In fact I'm glad those days are gone,goodbye to cars with poor handling,bias tires,whitewalls, sail on brakes,pointy bras,hairspray,and Bobby Vinton.
I like modern stuff, except for old trucks and swing dancing.

you have been holding to many hot wires.

Yep, remember it well. Don't think his hair EVER went grey. :confused:

Im 40 and Barby's 32 and we both love oldies, we just went to see The Temptations and 4 tops in concert. And I already flopped 102.50 to see Dion and frankie Vallie, we can't wait

Truck: You are toooo young us old whipper snappers remember the good old days all to well, Give me Blueberry Hill, Runnig Bear & Little White Dove, 16 Candles, Blue Velvet ect. a cheerleader and sock hop. Smell the perfume on the side of my face all night from dancing close.

Tim: Never started dancing fast until I blew a knee out and the Dr. said boy you get better you start twisting lets get that knee strong. Worked too.

popcorn The Truth is Out There (Sock hops, slow music, good Lord I'm having flashback again)

Great music. Fantastic dancing. I had a 57 olds
J2 stick but I couldn,t beat the 57 chevy fuelies.

Pop,I'm 57,I remember all that stuff,but I try to forget it. Growing up near NYC,the airwaves were all Do-Wop, but I had my radio tuned into Jocko's Rocketship rythum and blues show.
My wife like swing music,it's pretty good.We dance the Shag,a early swing type dance to AC-DC
[censored] Clark is more than pop stars lip syncing on Bandstand,he's very knowledgable and a fan of old blues and early rock and roll,and even modern rock.

Truck Topic? My Stovebolt has a good beat and I can dance to it!
