The Village Stompers - Washington Square - 45 RPM

[ostno9]

너무나 익숙한 멜로디

[ridgerunner721601]

Oh yeah....love that Dixieland jazz.

[mkl62]

A Top 5 hit for The Village Stompers in November 1963. It would hit #1 on what is now the Adult Contemporary charts. It also charted on the Rhythm & Blues charts, before that chart was discontinued by Billboard for over a year.

[difa2ol]

We were very diverse back then. Loved jazz, rock, folk, instrumentals, vocals, and all else.

[pbatommy]

This is the very first record I ever owned! Thanks for posting this!

[WABCRADIO77]

Very cool!

It's amazing that many people remember the first record they ever received or purchased - in many cases remembering all the details - such as the store, bringing it home for the first time, etc.

Unfortunately today's youth will never experience that simple pleasure in life and carry it as a memory forever. Very few, if any I bet can name the very first MP3 they downloaded - legally or illegally!

[skudaarkaat1]

@WABCRADIO77 It's sad, isn't it? I thought I was the only person who felt this.

[Optgemakske]

Keep it alive please, please. please.. let the youth think about their music, let them hear this!

[skudaarkaat1]

@WABCRADIO77 My first record was purchased in Heidelberg, Germany in 1961 by a then unknown group called the Beatles. It was MY BONNIE and I still have it. It cost 40 Pfennigs, about 35 cents, and the cool thing is that Hochsteins Musik, where I bought it, is still there and is now ownedby the granddaughter of them original owner.

[Dolphindream15]

WOW WHAT MEMORIES I REMEMBER THOSE 45s I used to buy them all the time,,,things are much different now and too high tech,,,I MISS THEM OLD RECORDS,,,THANKS FOR SHARING ,,,AND THE SONG TOO!! THANKS,,,

[WABCRADIO77]

Thanks so much for your great comments!

I have already received many messages from a lot of good people welcoming me back, so even though I was gone for only a few days, I compare it to what happens when your favorite radio station suddenly changes it's format and fires all the DJ's you got to know (as what happened to WCBS-FM a few years ago in NYC). "You don't know what you have till you loose it" is oh so true! With just a few key strokes, someone at YouTube ended it all. But now we're back!

[winyguy]

@WABCRADIO77 I know what you mean.
