When I was young
Dad & I went together shopping
Always on Friday night to Ocean City
Dad would food shop & I would look for records
A special little record shop was around the corner…J
He used to buy for me one 45 record a week
They cost less than a dollar & for the Beatles I was a geek
As well he always took me to the Woolworths
For sometimes food, but the best was their banana splits
In a balloon they would put a ticket with a price
Pop the balloon and pay that price
Sometimes it came out FREE and that was particularly nice…J
I remember sitting in dads old Chrysler 300
And listen to the old AM radio as loud as it would go
Just a plain old radio & one dash speaker, not even stereo
But I thought myself pretty cool sitting in the drivers seat
These memories don’t come often,
But when they do they are really quite NEAT…J

My Dad didn't drive, and when my Uncle Ben died in 1947, Aunt Honey gave Dad their old 1937 Chevie. It stayed parked inside our garage for about 12 years. I used to sit in it and pretend to drive, and listened to the old radio when the battery wasn't dead.
Yep, the good ole days ... TK
And my best friend's Dad owned one of those Chryslers; we spent many a summer night sitting in it, listenin to the radio, and pretendin we were drivin cross country.
Those truly were - the Good Old Days.
The complication came when everybody learned how to read and write, then was when the S***T hit the going ga-ga big fan...
