THE FABULOUS FIFTIES!

Do you remember…
Tailfins on cars? And LOTS of chrome?
Loving REAL rock n roll?
Yet also loving Perry Como & Patti Page?
Have Gun Will Travel? Sid Caesar? The Mickey Mouse Club?
All in glorious BLACK AND WHITE!

Did you…
Smoke Winstons?
Brusha brusha brusha with the new Ipana?
Take Sominex tonight?

This show resurrects those “golden days of yesteryear”, THE FABULOUS FIFTIES! You’ll hear hit after hit, from songs like “Moon River” to “That’ll Be the Day.” You’ll sing along to “How Much is that Doggie in the Window?” and “Rockin Robin.” You’ll remember great TV theme songs from Father Knows Best to Davy Crockett! And the commercials– "You’ll wonder where the yellow went" as you “See the U.S.A. in your Chevrolet!” And along the way, you’ll find out where this wonderful music came from and why it sounded the way it did–and why Rock ‘n Roll HAD to happen. Beneath the serenity and chrome of the fifties lies a deep history.
