We used to slow dance to this song when I was in 9th grade and now I'm 73, 74, 75 and counting. 05.02.2021. 76 today, 04.14.2022. I'm still here my friends. It is now 4.19.2023 and I just turned 77. I'm hangin' on. Well my friends, today is April 14th, 2024. I am still here hangin' on and doing well. 78 today. Thank you all so very much for your past and future posts. I wish I could meet everyone of you personally and thank you but we know that can't happen. Life has been good to me. I would like to pass along some things that may help you get to where I am in life in case you don't hear from me again. 1. Give people the benefit of doubt. Forgive but don't forget. Guard your heart. Most people are good people and treat them as such. 2. Marry well and you'll live a good life. If a man treats his mother well, he'll treat you well. 3. Love your children and grandchildren unconditionally. None of us are perfect. We all make mistakes. Remember that when someone makes a mistake against you. 4. If you don't believe in a God, believe in something. It will help you get through the tough times in life in which we will all come across eventually. Hope to talk to you all next April. Tom

Junior high dance, November 1969, a lovely girl asked _me_ to dance with her as this song commenced. To this day I don't know how I kept my composure when every part of me was vibrating like a tuning fork. I remember the smell of her Heaven Scent perfume, the light creating fine shadows on her perfect complexion and the streamers hung in the cafeteria for the occasion swaying gently as we danced. I got picked up from the dance by my father and the scene from To Kill a Mockingbird with Gregory Peck where Atticus Finch shoots a rabid dog was showing on The Saturday Night Movie when we arrived home; it must have been 10 PM or so.

So I asked why, and my mother told me that "everything was just black and white back then", so I naturally thought she meant _everything_ was black and white, and assumed that color was a recent invention.

The night before I joined the Air Force, I stayed up most of the night and early morning playing my 45 RPM record collection. "Sleepwalk" was the last record on the last stack. When it completed, ,I lifted the arm that holds the records above the spindle and let the song play over and over again. I probably played it twenty times, while reflecting on the past and what might be in my future. After completing basic training in Texas, they put a bunch of us on a bus heading for tech school in Mississippi. When we got to Beaumont, we pulled into a diner for lunch. As I walked into the place I heard "Sleep Walk" playing on the jukebox. It made me instantly home sick and I returned to the bus, miserable and waited for the others to finish eating and continuing our journey to Mississippi. That was 59 years ago. Still think about that day every time I hear the song.

This song is so strange, because it stirs so many emotions and feelings at once. Nostalgia, regret, sadness, joy, despair, hope, finality, relaxation, the feeling that you missed the one chance that you had, the feeling that you did the best you could, and it wasn’t enough. And the feeling that even though the previous statement is true, it’s all going to be alright.

Having lived in Hawaii I thought this sounded like an island tune. It seemed strange that an Italian family from Brooklyn, NY would somehow create a polynesian-sounding song. Turns out they were taught steel slide guitar playing by someone from the islands. This is from the wiki page: "Within two years, Santo was performing in amateur shows using a new Gibson six-string steel guitar and had started receiving lessons from a steel guitar teacher who had studied in Hawaii."

@@DougieFresh If you grew up in the islands you would have been shocked to find out it was not a local song - that's how accurate the style is. Santo was taught by an authentic player and had very good, careful attention to the style. He reproduced it exactly. When you compare the tune to traditional Italian music - which is very distinctive and a style all its own - Santo's "Sleep Walk" did not incorporate any aspect of traditional Italian music styles. It was as if he grew up in the islands, playing polynesian music - that's how good he interpreted it.

I’m 75 So I was 14. I remember rushing home from school every day to turn on American Bandstand. It would always be in full swing. We wanted to wear what the girls wore and would copy their hairdo’s. I remember before you could get those big round rollers in the south we would save the roll in the toilet paper and cut it in half until we had enough for our hair and used Bobby pins to secure them when we rolled our hair on them. We knew all the regulars by name and of course getting the yearbook was a must. I still have mine and the dance contest winners are in it. One of my favorite couples were Joanie and Jimmy and I think they were winners but I don’t remember if they were 1st place.

You have the right to feel jealous as it was a great time with even greater music. Being born in 1945 I grew up listening to 50s and 60s music which we loving call "oldies but goodies" now in 2020 and there has never been any better music made since then. That is why I still listen to it and prefer it over anything made in today's world. I lived in Memphis most of my life, the home of Elvis (King of Rock n Roll) along with Sun and Stax Records and so many great Memphis bands and entertainers. And yes I grew up doing those dances seen in the movie "Dirty Dancing" which had a great soundtrack of music from the 60s. I wish I could relive it all over again and again as I have so many great memories from that time. Thank you for loving my era and my kind of music!!
