The Statlers were my first "boy band" back in elementary school in the '70s. I finally got to see them at their special annual July 4th "Happy Birthday USA" concert in their hometown back in '91 when I was in college. I had never before or since been at a bigger concert with so many people! I just met Harold & Don's grandsons last weekend when I saw them in concert. I'll be seeing their dads in November. So I'll be able to say that I've seen 3 generations of Reids.

I remember most of them. I'm 76. My first Mickey D's was in the 1950's burger 15 Cents sounds cheap now but you didn't make a lot of money. I remember bread was 16 cents a loaf. Oh the old days Howdy Doody and Bandstand, My hit parade, Mitch Miller, the farmers bring their wagons with corn and watermelons and cantaloupes and other farm produce to our neighborhoods. Sitting out on the steps or the porch on a hot summer night because all you had was one big window fan. I'd take those days back today. They were tough but neighbors knew each other and kids played outside till the street lights came on. I've lived through the 50's 60's and on up. I've seen changes some good ones but we have lost the best ones.

The original McDonald’s restaurant was started by Richard and Maurice McDonald in San Bernardino California in 1940. They hired Ray Croc as their franchise agent in 1954. Croc purchased the business in 1961 and ran it until 1973 guiding its rise to U.S. hamburger chain restaurant fame. The song “YOU ARE MY SUNSHINE” was first recorded and released on BLUEBIRD records by a group called the PINE RIDGE BOYS in 1939. It seems to be erroneously credited to Jimmie Davis the two time governor of Louisiana who did record it and copyright it in 1940 but never actually claimed to have written the song. He just didn’t refute the claims. Oliver Hood of LaGrange Georgia claims to have written the song in 1937. The song has been recorded over 350 times by a variety of artists. It was popular in 1959 when I was in first grade. Maybe just coincidence that Jimmie Davis was running for his second term as governor of Louisiana at that time.
