Actually Doug, I'm ashamed to say it but before I was hooked on folk, my favourite song was Dean Martin's "Memories Are made of This"! I remember as a very small tyke, hearing this on the radio (along with Vaughn Monroe, Don Rondo, Rusty Draper, Julius La Rosa, Georgia Gibbs, Kitty Kallen, and yes, the aforementioned Jo Stafford) and for the record....these people did NOT ROCK!

Heard Buddy Holly and Elvis, and I might have become a rocker but I was blown away by "Hang down your head Tom Dooley..."!

My personal protest. If some are gonna start spellin' "cool" as "kewl", I'm gonna spell it "Kuhl". Lemme see if it catches on. Same with "Rawks".
