"Blue Moon" - The Marcels (1961)

This week's theme: Doo Wop

Okay, this "modern music" - you know - post 78 rpm era.

Just thought I'd throw it in to mix things up  :-)

After all "Doo Wop" is getting pretty old now too.
Half way back to WWI is 1964-1968.
These songs are closer in time to WWI than to us today!

They used to joke that you knew you were getting old when all your favorite 
songs were in the 99 cent bin at the record store.
Now you know you're getting old if you remember what a "record store" is :-)

There used to be a record store in St Anthony Village called "Don Leary's 
hard to find and out of print records" - but it wasn't hard to find - it was 
right there in St Anthony Village :-)
