The only thing worse than Bobby Sherman was Bobby Goldsboro.

Good lord give me a break...

[The Sentient Sheep]

A lot of talent here. An era long gone.

My favorite Halloween tune from that period. Jumpin’ Gene Simmons

Yeah I know. I was 13 at the time and loved them all.

Brings back not too fond memories. My Draft Notice was November 22, 1965.

I remember SHINDIG, Hootenanny and Hullabaloo. Showing my age. I am 76.

Wow! Did that bring memories back. I graduated from high school in 1965. Turned 75 in August. I was always a big Boris Karloff fan. Went to a local comi-con show here several years ago, and met Karloff’s daughter, Sara Karloff. Apparently she was the only child he had despite having been married six times.

About 1953 or 54, on New Year’s Eve, I went out celebrating with Ted Cassidy and a another fellow. I was under age, but the bars were dark and nobody noticed or cared.

thank you for posting this. Now I know that youtube is a shindig goldmine. It’s amazing to browse through and see how many big names were on that show ... before they were big ...

[ransomnote]

I did NOT know LURCH could DANCE!

Girls on shows like that at the time helped prove to me that I wasn’t gay.

[LottieDah]

Bobby Sherman was a horrible singer. He couldn’t carry a tune in a bucket!

Your statement demands further details.

Where was this? How did you know (even if only casually) Ted Cassidy?

Same here..

[ryderann]

Ted went to Stetson U. and was well-known among the young people in Daytona Beach where I’m from.

Nixon ended the draft just as I was graduating from high school. Same month, in fact.

Those Stridex medicated pads...they were the cat’s meow back in the day for preventing acne.
