Favorite songs I was raised on

My attention has been alerted to the first few videos of the thread. It appears there are videos that are unavailable now. Awesome! We have plenty of re-do's to post!



I posted the wrong video. We did sing ring of fire, and we sang this. I’m, I had the tenor part.

 

It was kind of great being the youngest-as the oldest were in the late teens-and I started school listening to some awesome music-from my hippy sis.

Listening to all these great hits reminded of driving to my first job after college in 1973. Drove from the Twin Cites in my 62 Chevy Impala to a small town in Northern North Dakota. My assignment was to assist in testing radar equipment at this facility...


Here's a current pic of the pyramid...

If you ever taken a long drive with the radio on, you would usually hear some of the most popular current songs over and over. Here's the one I remember hearing the most that day...

 

Herb Alpert & the Tijuana Brass ...When I was a kid, you couldn't go anywhere without hearing these guys , game shows , grocery stores, radio, advertising etc.. I haven't followed the entire thread, so apologize if a repeat
 

This makes me think of Clarence White & the Byrds. Bob Dylan wrote some great tunes, the Harmonies & guitar leads of the Byrds blew me away. I play guitar, & Clarence is a huge influence for me. Clarence was a true pioneer in every sense, trail blazed flat picking lead work in Bluegrass in his youth, & developed the B bender telecaster w/ band mate Gene Parsons while in the Byrds. Unfortunately we lost him in 1973.
