Got to admit I have never tried it. Too many pretty young girls around at the time. Mind you, since then I have tried frog f.......

My age? 12 years. At least mentally. I intend to live long enough to educate my grandchildren into appreciating jazz.

I remember a time when you could just open up the doors and
windows to let fresh air in through screens and not worry that
someone would come in and harm you unlike nowdays. We didn't
worry about germs like people do now either. Food tasted a
lot better because there weren't additives in it and some of it
was home raised.

Judy
Your mention of germs reminded me of something our Doctor used to advocate. He always used to say that if you had a cut or graze bathe it in the sea (we were only twenty feet from the shore where we lived). The salt and iodine would always heal it quickly. Imagine doing that now. You would probably catch something life
threatening.

I also remember a time when there wasn't an expiration date on
a bottle of medicine or a bar code. Some of it like asprin or
rubbing alchohol would sit on the shelf for a long time if not
years. A jar of Vicks vapor rub would be old but I'd still use
it under my nose to open it up and it still worked. I remember
when soda was sweetened with sugar instead of corn syrup.
It sure tasted better.

Anybody remember this from the good old days????

And these,

 

[teddy]

I certainly remember buses like that, although in Wales we only had single deckers like the one behind. Only two buses a day, although the trains ran hourly. If the engine driver saw you running up the road towards the station he would always wait for you. Dandelion days indeed.

teddy surely you remember the top logo

 

[Dorsetmike]

The top logo was for "utility" products introduced 1941 as a war economy measure; ideally using as few "strategic" materials and manufacturing facilities as possible.

Congratulations contestant you have won 2nd prize [ 2 weeks in Birmingham] would you like to stick or go for 1st prize

 

[Dorsetmike]

I guess the first prize is 1 week in Birmingham.

 

[teddy]

I have to admit that although the logo rang a few bells I could not remember what it was. I do remember rationing and free orange juice for youngsters. The area I lived in in Wales was dry. That is nothing, and I mean nothing apart from chapels and churches were open on a Sunday. Unless you were local and knew which back doors to go to you could not buy anything. Even sailing was banned and the putting green was padlocked. It was very peaceful, but a bit too peaceful.

Sorry Mike but you loose by default so you cannot claim either prize
I realise this will be devastating news but your question would have been:
What is the title of this tune
Who is the Artist,
open to anyone.

 

[Dorsetmike]

Not a good choice Colin, Media player displays title and artists (Obviously embedded in the MP3 file)

 

[JHC]

Bugger, Well do you like him??

 

[Dorsetmike]

Yes, reminiscent in places of the Hot Club de France.

 

[JHC]

I love the Hot club of France was it not called [at some time] the quintet de hot club de Paris ?? or am I all confused again? also the Dutch swing collage

 

[marval]

The Dutch swing collage is still going strong. Of course not all the original players, I saw them a few weeks ago.

Last time I saw them was in Bristol, early '90's with the Lindy hoppers dance group.

The great comfort of turning 49 years is the realisation that you are now too old to die young.
