FRIDAY FRIVOLITY No 1

For some time now I had hoped to follow River's example with her Musical Monday and show some of my musical favourites.   Unfortunately, even following River's wonderful tuition I couldn't get it to work.   I have decided to have one final attempt so here goes nothing.

I have always like the music of Bill Haley and this has to be his very best.  I hope you will enjoy it with me.  I found this on YouTube and hope it will play OK.

    Not one of my favourites, but I remember it well. And know the words which says it has been a part of me for a long time.

      I was 23 when that hit the charts and Ive always enjoyed it. I never did the jitterbug or even jived but loved to dance.
      I have a feeling that most people familiar with this song would remember the words.....don't know why but they just seem to stick.

      Sounds of my early adulthood but it really got me in and I've always loved early rock and roll. My folks didn't think much of it though and Phil is not a fan.
      Glad I brought back some good memories for you. xxx

    You did it!! I'm really excited for you. Well done.
    I love that song too. I have a few of Bill Haley and his Comets on my list.
    My dad used to love them too.

      Yes I did it and mainly thanks to you. I sat and thought about your instructions and tried again and voila!!!! SUCCESS.
      I am glad you enjoy this type of music. It was true rock and roll, not like some of the 'stuff' that passes for rock these days.
      P.S. Just hoping future attempts will be as successful.
