Nostalgic Music Thread

And talking about it, Chev. My mom was from farm country in Northern Vermont and grew up on Country/Nashville music on the radio there. That carried over into my childhood. Heard it constantly. When I was four and five, this pair of songs were hugely popular and both crossed over fairly strongly in 1951 and 52. Songs and answer songs were common in country but these two are the unquestioned King and Queen of the answer Genre. Hank Thompson, "The Wild Side of Life: and Kitty Wells, "It wasn't God who made Honkey-Tonk Angels". And I can still sing every word to both of them, though I promise you, you don't wanna listen to me sing. So anyway, this won't likely be Nostalgic for many, but it sure is for me.

That one is not easy for me.
If you still haven't gotten it, here is a hint:

Her # was on the wall along with the words . . . for a good time, call

Thanks, I've got it now. I was fixated on a Steely Dan song and it was pushing all other "phone" songs out of my brain.

One of Music's great tragedies. Did any artist ever have more memorable true hit songs in so short a time?


Long long time ago, I can still remember
How that music used to make me smile
And I knew if I had my chance
That I could make those people dance
And maybe they'd be happy for a while
But February made me shiver
With every paper I'd deliver
Bad news on the doorstep
I couldn't take one more step
I can't remember if I cried
When I read about his widowed bride
But something touched me deep inside
The day the music died
