Here you'll learn a little something about us: our interests and hobbies, the people in our family, and more. I've even included
a list of my favorite links to the 50s sites.
This was my first new car.

Black & White TV
You could hardly see for all the snow
So you spread the rabbit ears far as they'd go,
And pull
a chair up to the TV set,
"Good night David, Good night Chet."
Depending on the channel
you tuned,
You'd get Rob and Laura or Ward and June,
Or Andy Griffith and Barney Fife,
Lawrence Welk
or This Is Your Life.
I Love Lucy and The Real McCoys,
Dennis the Menace and the Cleaver boys.
Rawhide, Gunsmoke, Wagon Train,
Superman and Lois Lane.
Father Knows Best and Patty Duke,
Rin Tin Tin and Lassie too,
Donna Reed on Thursday night -
Life looked better in black and white.
They were simple folks living a simple life
Where everything always turned out right.
The good
guys always won the fight.
I wanna go back to black and white.
In God they trusted, in their own bed
they slept,
And a promise made was a promise kept.
They never cussed or broke a vow,
They'd never
make the network now!
Nowadays nothing's the way it seems
In living color or on the screens.
The
good guys don't always win the fight
And life doesn't always turn out right.
If only I could, I'd
rather be
In a TV world of '63.
It felt so good, it felt so right,
Life looked better in black and
white.
I'd trade all the channels on the satellite
If I could just turn back the clock tonight
To when everybody knew wrong from right -
Life was better in black and white!
