Here is an old kaleidoscope from over 50 years ago !! For 100 years, the slow drop of a lighted glass ball on New Year's Eve from atop One Times Square in New York City has become an American tradition. A huge crowd gathers every year to welcome in the New Year.
Beginning in 1956, Guy Lombardo & His Royal Canadians entertained the US on New Year's Eve with a combination of music and the live "ball drop" at Midnight. Guy continued this tradition until his death in 1976. His band still played on at CBS Television on New Years for an additional 2 years.
(Dick Clark's Rockin New Years Eve began in 1972 on ABC and still broadcasts annually.)
Beautiful music, elegantly dressed fashionable people...the refinement of yesteryear. These old acquaintance should never be forgot as they are the days of auld lang syne. Great posting!
