Remember When This Was Our Lives, Darlings???????????????????????


                                   Ah, yes, how simple and uncomplicated it all was, as we look back!

                                   Not so much then, dolls!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

                                    How many of us can recall doing leg raises, hanging over stair banisters, sitting among piles of record album covers while the turntable played (that was me!) or just scrunched up in a chair!

                                      This is "The Telephone Hour" number from the 1963 movie "Bye Bye, Birdie," and it indicates how much teens needed to communicate, even then.  To update this musical and the number would be moot, because the Internet, Instagram, Facebook and such make this primal sort of communication obsolete. And the number not as compelling/

                                         Yes, it was a simpler, more innocent time.  We just did not realize it at the time, as we were too busy living through it.  A pimple?  A test?  A quiz?????????  Oh, my God, your whole future was determined.

                                             And, yet, here we all are, today!

                                             Gotta go, girls!  Need to spin some discs!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hello, Mr. Hankle,
This is Harvey Johnson!
Can I talk to Penelope Ann?

I always wanted to do that role,
when I was of age!
