Oldies But Goodies
It’s time to stay warm, relax a little, and reminisce with the oldies from the all-request Golden Oldies Juke Box Saturday Night. The songs are on the juke box in our Daily Doo Wop Rec Room. There’s plenty of good music, and it’s always a fun mix of artists and genres, including doo wop, rock and roll, R&B, country, pop, and a little what have you. Just click on the juke box and then on the songs you wish to hear. Many thanks to all those who requested songs! Many apologies if we did not get to your request. Please let us know, and we’ll try again next Saturday.
