Favorite Songs....

Mine to Bill.

I have one to attend this very weekend over in Ireland. Plenty of musical talent will be there. Not from me I have to say. I can't hold a single note or play an instrument of any kind. But the crowd that will be there sure can. It should be a real humdinger of a reception. Lots of Bluegrass, C&W and R&B.
 
The Diamonds Then and 47 Years Later

Cool stuff Maynard................:cool:

Supposedly Tom Hanks Father:

If you were alive in 1957, and old enough to enjoy Rock and Roll, you will
probably remember the group, "The Diamonds" who had just launched their
super hit "Little Darlin' ".

For you that are too young to remember - it was a time when the performers
were happy, enjoying themselves, respecting their fans, dressed
appropriately and their lyrics could be understood.

They did not feel obligated to scream, eat the microphone, mumble inaudible
lyrics or trash the set.

In 1957, The Diamonds had a hit with "Little Darlin". 47 years later, they
were requested to perform at Atlantic City ...

This link leads to both performances.

Watch the first one then scroll down for the new one 47 years later.

Tom Hanks father is much better looking than Tom, and even better looking
with age. In the linked videos Tom Hank's father is the lead singer on the
left. He still has it! Hope you enjoy.

47 years apart 2 Performances --

Thanks Dave,
I have about 5 hrs on my truck radio and it is a 2002 model with close to 300,000 miles on it. I only listen to the old music on discs.
 
Not quite accurate Dave Coots. That story is an old myth. The Father of Tom Hanks was a chef. His name- Amos Hanks.

The original members of the Diamonds were: lead singer Dave Somerville, Ted Kowalski, Phil Levitt and Bill Reed.
Myself, and a group I was once in used to sing some of their stuff.
