If I wanted a copy of something on a piece of paper, there was no easy way to do it, outside of going to a professional printer.

If I wanted a copy of something I had to scrape it into stone! We didn't have paper back then, or writing utensils, or tools of any kind.

ISOIR Bonanza as the 1st (& for awhile) only color TV show

Saturday being "movie night" on NBC.

NYC having only 7 TV stations. NO such thing as PBS.

Going to the movies (with my mom) to see Gone With the Wind. (1959) Every few years it was rereleased, & it made tons of $$. It was finally shown (on 2 nights) on network TV in 1977 or 78.

Seeing Psycho in the movies (with my sister) & NOT knowing the ending.

Rock & Roll music only on AM radio. FM was "long hair" music & talk shows. Not the garbage of today, actually intellectual talk.

Air raid drills in school. Down to the ground floor, sitting against the wall. Realizing as I got older, that living 9 miles west of NYC, that no wall could ever have protected us

ISOIR rabbit ears on the TV. No cable. And tin foil to improve reception

 

[Willie Boy]
