As well as Sid Vicious and Laura Brannigan, who are no longer with us..
Some of the #1 hits of that year were All Shook Up, Teddy Bear and Jailhouse Rock....All Elvis, of course...Wake Up Little Susie - Everly Brothers and You Send Me - Sam Cooke.

Falling in love is like learning to play the guitar; first you learn to follow the rules, then you learn to play with your heart.

oh its' a shame some of us born way later
I'm a 63 model ( ha ha ) and I have no knowledge of what the hell you people are talking about ( ha ha ha)
Joke people only a joke
We had the cane ( bamboo can wacked around your legs ) I guess that is why so many of my class mates became good dancers and light on their toes
OOO I can still remember the noise as it cracked the back of my legs or finger tips ...
Happy memories People
.........double space ..........
I am aso known as Barnabus Rock ...Hilch ....ummmm yeah thats it
Actually, the Blessed Sisters of Perpetual Misery beat me right-handed!
I was born left-handed and was until I started going to St. Justins, in the first grade, I STILL have nightmares about learning to write! From what I understand, left-handed people were considered guided by the devil!
Remembering what little Latin I learned, left was "sin" and right was "dex", hence the terms "sinister" (from the left side) and "dexterous" (from the right).
Thanks to the penguins, I now can do things badly with both hands! :twisted:
When I die, I want to go peacefully in my sleep like my grandfather, not screaming......
