I have great memories of this, too! Dating yourself at '78 ~ phooey, PG, I had been married for 10 years!!!!

Originally Posted By trailsend HA! oooo, I need to pay more attention at 7:33 am. You are so correct. AND, I KNOW about 78's. I remember they used to look funny to me. I grew up on 33's and 45's. I think if you lived in a home that loved music, as I did, you were always finding "old" stuff!!!
Originally Posted By tapdancemom Thanks for sharing that friendofdd. That was very fun. Any LPers out there remember Stan Borson who used to host a kiddies after school program. I'm sure I remember him doing this song at Christmas all decked out like the "old guy".

When my dad open up this up there wasn't a dry eye in the house. The song itself is very funny.
