The day the music died.

[MossRoad]

Wow... Never a "dope head" before Presley. The 40's and 50's were all clean I bet...

Yeah, back in the good old days you'd just be an alcoholic....

Some get a kick from cocaine
I'm sure that if
I took even one sniff
That would bore me terrif...ically, too
Yet, I get a kick out of you
- Cole Porter, 1934

I like the first Sinatra version the best.

Not like today and back then one could actually understand the lyrics and talk to the person across the table.

The music lives on in my memory and soul. And as long as I can refresh those memories on occasion, I am good to go.
