On the street where you live

As sung by Vic Damone

Are you kidding? I loved it.

I believe this 1963 song by the Orlons has the first cultural reference to hippies.

Credence Clearwater Revival is hangin' down on the corner . . .

So does my mom, which is how I heard about them -- by getting dragged to a concert many years ago.

I find some of their stuff okay, even though I don't care for that particular song.

And I'm definitely glad you and ehBeth like them, since I'm cheering for them, as a Maine group, even while not listening to them.

This is one song of theirs I like:

We had quite a hail storm on our street today, with a thunder and lightning show that lasted for most of the day. The ground turned white with the layer of hail on it. Didn't last long though. Reminded me of a huge record setting hail storm we had in the Sacramento area a few years ago when I was living there.

I like the story-telling style of Schooner Fare. Reminiscent of the traditions of the troubadours and minnesanger.
