It may sound strange, but when I was about 11 years old, I would watch an infomercial over and over again because I loved the music. It was for a Dick Clark’s Rock ‘n’ Roll Era CD set. The commercial was very long, and it featured samples of the songs from each CD with commentary from Mr. Clark himself. I must have watched that infommercial 1,000 times. What can I say… I’ve always loved the oldies! I’m not sure where my passion for the music of the ’50s and ’60s came from. Yet, I’m confident it was unusual for a ’90s kid to be singing along to songs like “Rockin’ Robin,” “Earth Angel” or “Johnny B. Goode.” I’m just thankful for my awesome family that let me be me. And today, I still enjoy listening to all those songs. How about you? Do you like the oldies?
