A note from your friendly editor.............

As we say goodbye to 2013, this wee blog is also saying goodbye to the music and images of 1963.  According to the scorecard on the right, there were at least 360 "Fifty Years Ago" posts dedicated to 1963. Some were classics that deserve savoring.  Some of them were an absolute stretch, for which apologies are offered.  Since this blog exists solely for the amusement of this blogger and his faithful readers, starting tomorrow, the "Fifty Years Ago" feature will move into the fertile hunting grounds of 1964.  If memory serves, it was a very good year.  Stay tuned.
