Thread Name: Not As Good As I Remember It
Subject: RE: Not As Good As I Remember It
An early on poster in this thread asked about Theo Bikel.   In truth I still appreciate his works---sound as fresh as ever. To me. Also, saw him in a performance of a drama a few years back---brilliant piece of work.

The thing that is---as the thread started---not as good as I remember it---the music in the 1950s. I cannot believe I liked the sacharine pap that passed as sentiment.   All except one person---Hank Williams. Talk about the sound of a generation---I would nominate him for that era. Who knows what more he could have done.

Jerry Rasmussen: see there is a slogan that can be remembered because of that great play on the words.
   Does anyone remember the 7 UP slogan?    I never did understand it.
                            Ford?            hint: Not mine
                            Pepsi?          in the 40s and 50s
                            Dr. Pepper?    a real annoying miniconcert
