1960's "Wonderland" !



Before we came down to Destin this time we bought a "Sirius/XM" portable player. We later bought a dock to put it in so we could listen to it in the car AND in the condo.

This afternoon we were sitting out on the balcony watching "Lake Destin" gently lap against the shore, the sun warming us as we watched the world go by, and this tune played on "60's on 6".
I suspect it's been 40 years since I've heard the tune, maybe more.
Growing up, we had a radio-record player combination. I don't know exactly what transpired to make it happen... maybe my folks got a better piece of equipment, but they handed down that original machine to me. In my bedroom, I would turn it on as I was down for sleep and listen to either 1070 WIBC, (or if it was a late weekend, 890 WLS out of Chicago) until I fell asleep, and when I woke I'd find either Mom or Dad had turned it off. This tune is one of those I remember hearing come out of that box.

It played this afternoon and brought back memories from when we '65-er's were about 13 years old. I had to share it with you.
It may not have impacted you as it did me, but I'm sure you remember it...

Don't you?
