Ronnie Draper "Summer of '62"
Loading...
Uploaded by vandraper on Feb 1, 2011
My father Ronnie Draper, who died at age 35 in 1968 was a fixture on the San Francisco and Seattle music scenes in the 1950's and '60's, and was Rusty Draper's younger brother.
This little slide show uses "The Summer Of '62" audio as background. The tune was one of many theme songs recorded for the Seattle World's Fair that opened in April of 1962. My dad plays banjo and sings with a local vocal quartet called the "Fordomatics", and the song had the unique distinction of not only being released as a 45rpm record, but also as a "postcard-record" (see first slide). These were regular postcards with a hole in the middle, and you could put the card on a turntable and it would play at 33 1/3 rpm. Quite the collector's item now.

Awesome. I still have the 45 with "How It Lies, How It Lies" on the flip side I've had since I was 7 years old that summer. I don't even have a turntable anymore so this is the first time I've heard that song in at least 30 years. Just as I remembered it.
