One night in 1953.

1. What am I missing here?

5. Just a mood with a picture and a song.

My father would take me to bars like this and I'd play with the sand on the shuffleboard.

2. Here's one person who remember when that song was popular.

Enough said about that.

3. I remember that song also.

Teresa Brewer was one of my favorite vocalists in the early '50s.

4. Remember Brewer, this song, and Elvis story

Not sure the exact point of this post. I was just a kid, but I remember this song from radio and later from Brewer on TV.

Recording is from 1952, so I'm a bit confused by the 1953. There is that story of Elvis performing this song in a talent show while in high school in 1953.

6. Great pic!

Color photos from that era are not uncommon, but they rarely look that clear in that kind of light; almost as if you could walk into it. 1953 looks like an actual time, and not a mythical, black-and-white "past".

Wouldn't want to live back then. Everybody smoking... Bleh...

7. Oh, what a night! Late December, 1953.....
