    Please count me in. Thanks. I only want to add that, as I PM'ed you once a long time ago, Johhny Cash was Rock and roll long before he was country.

  • Thanks for the extra long grace period... especially for the slackers tuned in to the great Muddy Waters. Get up here for Hot August Nights!

  • I'd love to enter this contest (and win of course!). Franklins are the love of my hobby. I haven't been financialy stable enough to purchase any in about a year though. I think that the reason I like them so much is because when my Grandfather passed away on Christmas night in 1980, there was a huge coaster type Franklin in my stocking that he put in there.

    << <i>The 50's suddenly came to an end circa late 1963 to 1964 when:

    Kennedy replaced Franklin on the half dollar

    The Beatles, Stones et all replaced Elvis, Dionne & the Belmonts, Frankie Valley et al as the pop music cult icons

    The Ford Mustang was introduced, the Corvette was redisgned (cir 1963) and the VW's became poplar

    The war in Vietnam began to roll

    The Yankees dominance of baseball ended when they won their last pennant until 1976

    The Civil Rights Laws were enacted

    Excellent observations!

  • Count me in lucy, There are some great members here on this board and I have learned so much from lurking and posting here over the years. I have been mostly lurking the last 2 years when I get a chance because of my status in the Military and have had to put my collecting on the back burner. Thanks for the give away.

    The 50's in Chicago was really something to remember. I was there and lots of great memories. I have several cars but all from the 60's and 70's. I want my 56 Olds back again. And the old coins were all new then but like a dummy kid, how was I to know I'd be buying today what I was throwing around back then.

    I knew an era had come to an end when I walked into the Plymouth dealers showroom with Dad in 1959 and we saw a brand new Valiant. Ugliest car ever methinks! image
