Premium Member 1950s Luncheonette Counter
noisy luncheonette
1950’s fast food
men in suits and ties

women in cotton dresses
wearing high heeled shoes
none unchaperoned

counter closed on Sundays
family day
everyone in church...

Early 1950s In Jacksonville Fl
Wafting on the morning breeze,
During manufacturing
Our whole town enjoyed the scent.
Maxwell House Coffee.

Freshness permeating air.
Aroma percolating.
Infusing memories of…
Grandma’s coffee pot.

I think Rude-Pun-Zel was a hidden name for Rene Zellwinger!! Remember about 
2-3 years ago, no matter what movie playing you went to, she starred?
Patricia- when I played that gig 2 weeks ago in that nightclub, my between 
songs "schtick" made one feel they were in the Catskills, circa 1950s!  Luckily, 
the band did not disapprove.  Next time , I open for them!! (only kidding!). tom
hope you feel better, I've felt lousy last 2 days, myself. Nite!......

Premium Member Sweet Nothings Whispered To Myself
Rediscovering listening to music
Currently have The Big Bopper on
With show don't tell, tell don't show poetry on my mind
I'm loving the simplicity of the telling in 50s music
I love the clothes, the make up, perhaps even connotations of chivalry
I'll have my equal rights and my special treatment (sorry not sorry)
And I'm sure the juxtaposition of holding a pint of Guinness sets off my (occasional) 1950s glamour look to perfection 
See ya later alligator...
