Nostalgia
As a child of the mid-sixties my real childhood memories are of the late sixties and the seventies, and those years provide great memories. Like a babysitter who wore long braids and a fringed suede jacket. Dreamweaver, Andy Gibb, Shawn Cassidy (yeah, I admit I went to one of his concerts, and my friend got me to go to a Bay City Rollers one with her). We're lucky I guess. My generation has plenty of memorabilia to help us jog those memories. I had a few that, until the age the internet really got into full gear, I had trouble convincing people were legitamate. Hmmm, like, the Banana Splits, a mornining kids show by Hanna Barbara, or Freakies cereal. I had a collection of the minuture give aways, and just LOVED those things.
So, on a few lonely nights, longing for the safety and happiness of my young life, I scoured the internet and found videos and cereal box pictures, even one of my beloved Freaky miniatures.
Here is a link that my sister recently sent me ... it should provide a few minutes entertainment to the forty and over crowd ... http://www.theimaginaryworld.com/page4.html.

I remember kids in my elementary classes who couldn't recite the preamble without the tune. They'd get just so far and then break into song .. http://www.retrojunk.com/details_commercial/4045/.
