Life things inspired by the artist's Hometown. Welcome, and I hope you enjoy the things at this page!
To start: WICC ! They are still doing it, better than ever! Back then, Our connecticut connection to the world in the 60s when we were teens!
How we'd blush and giggle - Recently move to "Right in our Neighborhood " ! WICC!
Disc Jockeys might be caught running in and out the of the Old Exide Storage Battery Building, at WICC!
In our babydolls, hair full of curlers, we'd hold our breath, dial that phone and call in OURRRRRR special request
and then ......holding our breath by the radio...he'd PLAYYYY it!
Can someone help me? I remember it all so clearly but NOT the names of two Rock'n'Roll DeeJays !
Only remember Walt Davanis and Phil Stern's Astronomy shows -
I met and chatted later with Mr. Stern a NASA Astronomer, when studying Astronomy at the University of Bridgeport.
A cute one for New Year's EVE: SISOMO! "sight sound and motion" - " "Fi-yah !" brilliant 'Blast from the Past' Flash video!

Fairfield GirlsWe are the Fairfield Girls!
We wear our hair in curls! We wear our dungarees, Rolled up above our knees! We wear our Fathers' shirts! We wear our Brothers' ties! And when it comes to boys, We take them by surprize! - late fifties hometown jingle Fairfield Girls' postscript to our Children Our children won't believe this They'll say it can't be true, No one could have been that dumb! Not in old days or new! "But, yes, my dears, that is the fact, I see no way to hide it, In retrospect,sometimes preferred, and so I won't deride it! The typical day of the Fairfield Girl, was like a Gidget movie! We cared not much for goings on, unless we thought it "groovy" The hair must be at Shoulder length And "Jackie-O" brunettes Won their fellows every time And their Father's bets! Dope? A name for wiseguy boys Sex, a mystery... Violence? Not in our town Our men were heroes, see? Poverty?.... for other folks Or, should it come, genteel Rock and Roll was here to stay! Its icons made us reel! ... ...to be continued... unless you stop me... delighted in your verse ideas... I'd love for you to top me... please leave out obscene/profane... the Fairfield page must shine... but I will publish at this page... the ones that come through fine... with your name and link, of course... or, if you wish, without it... but Fairfield ranks among the best and now no one will doubt it!...~ elle ~ A Fairfield Girl's Favorite Links |
