Great site! I have a few things to add lol. 60s Slang: 'Gob' verb to spit. "I gobbed on her" 60s cartoons: The Archies, Bird Man, Abbott and Costello cartoon, King Kong cartoon, Spiderman cartoon

Admin reply: Thank you, Paul, for signing the guestbook. Even though I have never heard of the slang word "gob" I am sure it was popular in your neck of the woods. I have added the word to the 60s slang webpage.

Neal I just read sad news were another Baseball legend Maury Wills, pass away at age 89 on September 19, 2022, I'm sure you know he was the shortstop for the Los Angeles Dodgers in the 60's and held the record for the most stolen base in 1962 and played in three World Series. (RIP) Maury Wills October 2, 1932 – September 19, 2022

Drew :!time:

Admin reply: Thank you Drew. I sure do remember one of the greatest base stealers of all time. So much fun to watch and see him run. I actually met Maury Wills at Veterans Stadium in Philadelphia. I was a sportscasters at the time in Easton, Pennsylvania, and was in the Dodger dugout doing interviews. Maury was such a gentleman.

Thanks Drew. Keep rockin'!

Terrific show! Gosh, we were so lucky to grow up with some great music during the 60s. The camp song by Allan Sherman brought some memories back. Thanks! See you (so to speak) next month.

Admin reply: Thanks for listening Wally. Yes sir, the Alan Sherman song brought back a lot of memories. Very funny and hit all the hot buttons.

We appreciate your support, Wally.

Using Firefox and the connection is "not secure." This is preventing playing of most of the links on the site.
Is there a work-around or fix for this?
Love the site, it's in my favorites list but I have to use MS Edge to listen.

Admin reply: I do not recommend Firefox for The 60s Official Site. Google Chrome and Microsoft Edge works great and is secure.

Neal I can't think of a better way to winddown the summer of 2022 then listening to the soundtrack of the 60's great job Carl dusting off and cleaning all those little records with the big hole.

Have fun putting together October's soundtrack of the 60's guys.

Hope Mother Nature is not playing havoc in your corner of the world guys.

Drew :!time:

We had had some rain in both Texas (Carl’s home) and where I am located.

Gooooood show! I cannot believe some of those songs didn't make it past #13. My favorites were "Bring It On Home" and "A Different Drum". Thank you three, Carl and Neal, and Jill also, for the show. See you in September! Hey, that would make a good title for a song. Also, I was thinking about the little record with the big hole. Did you ever come up with a name for that hole?
And, thank you Arthur from Australia for your comments in the "Guestbook". I was aware of Australia's contribution and in World War II also. Australia has been a great ally with the United States. THANK YOU sir.

Admin reply: "Thank you Wally for a great post here in the Guest Book. Yes, "See you in September" could actually be a song someday, somewhere, sometime, huh?

Thanks for asking about the little hole on the 45 rpm records. Never have we found out what it is officially called. Just the little hole, I guess.Thanks for asking Mr Wally of Iowa.

Glad you enjoyed the show and September shall be a rockin' and rollin' showgram for your musical entertainment."

Great website. I have provided the following information that your audience may find interesting:
About 50,000 Australians served during the Vietnam war with the army providing the bulk.Our commitment started with military advisors (the Australian Army Training Team) to the ARVN and some mountain tribal units and increased to 3 battalions and supporting arms. I served in SVN in 1968/9 as a rifleman with the 2nd and 4th Battalions, Royal Australian Regiment. We commemorate our involvement in SVN on 18th August each year in remembrance of the 510 KIA that we lost during the war. On the 18th August 1966 the Battle of Long Tan occurred which was the first and biggest battle that Australian soldiers had been involved in. Your readers may wish to research it and the battles of FSB Coral and Balmoral.
best wishes,
I am listening to music on your wesite as I write this..thanks again
arthur.

Admin reply: Thank you, Arthur! As you know I served in Vietnam and I am aware of Australia's support in the war but many other folks may not know that. In fact I met several Aussie soldiers who were serving there. Continue enjoying the site and thank you for signing the guestbook.
