Cause I was going for the 60's . Put me down me down for my Dip and chips again it went over pretty good. At least I didn't have any left. Welcome everyone new, you will have a great time. My first party was in jan 09 andyou couldn't meet any nicer people. So come on out and have fun and meet new friends.. | |

| Memphis, TN - April 18, 2009 - Whitehaven VFW - Dancing to the Oldies Posted: 3/22/2009 6:28:50 PM | | I guess I must have been the only one who used to tear home from school every afternoon by 3 pm so I could watch****Clark's American Bandstand (from Philedelphia). I learned how to slow bop from the song "Kansas City" Wilbur Harris around 1958. Music was sooooo good back then. I still have some of my 45's but nothing to play them 0n. | |

dreamymac, 60's dress will be super, since we'll have that decade's music playing as well as the 50's!
hey, ariatlady! i remember american bandstand too! oh! and i have a bunch of 45's, LP's (and even my mom's 78's)... i found a retro-looking portable record player online a few yrs ago... i LOVE playing my old records!
oh! if anyone has a favorite song you'd like us to try to find, shoot me a note (TNH2oGAL)...

Looking forward to Doo Wop night.
Remember this song? "I Only Have Eyes For You" by the Flamingos? and all of the Bobby Darin, Bobby Vinton, and Ricky Nelson songs? This is going to be so much fun. | |

We do have a lot of fun at these get togethers.. we dance, eat, make friends.. it is really worth while to attend in my view. I myself have met some really great men and made some good friends..
I think the main thing that these meet and greets do for me is they get me out of my rut.. and anything that gets me out of the rut is a good thing..
