It may have been a good year for you. However, it was the year Kennedy was assassinated. Some people seem to think that was a good thing.
It was also the year my dad divorced my mom.
It was the year we moved from San Antonio Texas to Draper Utah.
I often wonder what my life would have been like had my mom and dad stayed together and we had stayed in Texas.

I used to live in S.A. It was a very good year when I finally moved away from there. Never lived in Utah so I can't say whether it is better or worse than S.A. but I absolutely hated it in Texas.

I recognize five of these songs.  Two of them (the two surf instrumentals) are wonderful.  The other three (Blue Velvet, Walk Right In, and Hey Paula) make me gack.

Quoting:
Dominique - Singing Nun!!  :o

Oh my!  :D

I haven't heard or seen reference to that song since I was a child.

My parents played it for me, sometimes, before bedtime.

Meeeemories....  ;D

Another one from the same album was "Alloutte"(sp?).

Hi, Hairspray !  :) I recently was doing a search for a wav or midi of "Dominique" (with no success) and came across a lot of stuff about The Singing Nun ! It was a real person, too.

I remember hearing "Dominique" playing on the radio all the time during whatever year it was popular. My older cousin had the albumn, too.
