What was on the radio the night you were conceived?

I Get Around ~ The Beach Boys (july 1964)

here's a handy place to look it up...

Big Bad John – Jimmy Dean

Golly.

pretty sure there was no music playing on the radio on a Dutch freighter in the middle of the Atlantic in 1956

maybe a Dutch sailor singing ? something?

"Every mornin' at the mine you could see him arrive, he stood 6'6" and weighed 245, Big Jawn...". Can we trade birthdays? And "I Get Around". Wow, the a2k power couple strikes gold. Well, the lapping waves and sseabirds cries would have been a pretty decent soundtrack too, beth.

Cannot see any influence, really:

Nelson Eddy & Jo Stafford With These Hands
Hoagy Carmichael My Resistance Is Low

No lapping waves - huge storm. The way hamburger tells it, it was the reason they were below deck instead of at the table eating the food all the sick passengers couldn't manage.

I also got Chatanooga Woo Woo

hey, compadre!

Jack, my BH remembers The Shadow, which she asserts, could have had no effect whatever

Hmmmm. Frenesi/Artie Shaw and His Orchestra (late Feb or early March 1941).

I learned as a adult from my adult cousins that my parents were staying at my mother's brother's house, since my Aunt Nan had just come home from the hospital with their first child (she was 41), my parents there to help out. Their next child was adopted a few years later. She's not a baby boomer either, a year or so earlier than the BBs. Think of three grown female cousins laughing..

We didn't make guesses at that time about the music.

My brain keeps thinking that was in the house I remember the family having when some years later we moved back to California, but no, it was a house in the San Fernando Valley that I've no memories of ever being in but certainly was... in my own small way at the time. My parents moved to Ohio (AAF, Wright Field), shortly after my birth.

Let's see.............what was playing???? I was conceived on the Air Force Base in Iceland (long closed). Not sure exactly what was playing, but the winds were howling that night

This was an ad from my youth.

"Personality" was the number 1 hit when I was conceived. Were my parents listening to it? I have no idea.

There were a few Personality records in different years. I know which one was in your year, kid.

Amapola (Pretty Little Poppy) for me. At first I thought maybe we didn't have radio then. That was until I saw Dale had answered.

I believe I remember hearing Chattanooga Choo Choo when my folks brought me home.
