    @Chrissy Cross
    If I recall correctly, a D-J once remarked that Lou Christie's "Lightning Strikes" was recorded in a famed studio in an out-of-the-way town in NM.

    Pretty unimportant info, huh!

    Yesterday when I was posting some of these songs and listening to a whole bunch I didn't post I kind of got lost back in the 60's and it was nice. So many songs took me back to different memories. It might have not been a good time politically (Vietnam, etc) but it was a good tiime to be in high school. :)

    @Chrissy Cross Know what you mean about drifting off and thinking about the 60's.

    For those who didn't know, Lorne made 6 albums and had a few hits.
    'Ringo' was probably his biggest hit.

    'Welcome to the Ponderosa' was a big hit at our house, and my Mom played the album a lot.

    This was her favorite.

    Actually, I like the redone version of this song by Billy Idol. Talking about "jammin'", wow! But, then again, I like how Van Halen redone You Really Got Me by the Kinks. Another "jammin'" song.

    The summer before I was to start my senior year in high school,
    we moved to California because my Dad got stationed to a different Ship.

    I was pretty upset about leaving Hawaii and not being able to graduated with my friends.

    Low and behold, my Dad pulled some strings and after 6 months,
    we were back in Hawaii and I got to graduate from my old school!

    Without my albums and the 'Pitiful,Portable,Pinic' record player in my room,
    I never would have survived my time in Cali...

    The waves were too small and the ocean was COLD!:eek:

    Where we lived, there were a lot of lowered Chevys and people wearing flannel shirts over a white tee shirt.
    I wore 'Jams' and 'Hang Ten' shirts, so didn't quite fit in...

    Now when the wife, I and the boys moved from England to Moreno Valley,CA in the 90's,
    we really took to the sun and warmer temps!:)

    True about the waves and the ocean compared to Hawaii @Tim Burr. :). My oldest grandson likes to surf and skim board and he's on the central coast which is colder than the southern coast....but he still does it. He wears a wet suit when surfing and he's just a beginner really so the smaller waves are perfect.

    "Ringo", by Lorne Greene, made #1 in November, 1964. It remained in #1 a week, and in the charts for 10 weeks (top 40).
