Mom thought it was a good opportunity to grab up some of the music that she listened too when she was a teen ager back\u00a0in the 1950&#8217;s. I&#8217;ve done the same thing myself. You know purchasing music from particular periods of your life. Maybe that&#8217;s another thing I picked up from her. I&#8217;ve acquired most of the songs from her Scratchy 45 collection on CD.<\/p>\n<p>Anyway, this records arrives in the mail and even though mom had a few really oldies in the 45 stack, this was a triple albums worth. We were interested and I would bet that the TV series <em>Happy Days<\/em> had something to do with this ablum being created\u00a0as well as\u00a0our entusiasm toward it.
