Oldies But Goodies
It’s time to relax a little on this lovely Spring weekend 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 are lots of songs this week. It’s always a fun mix of artists and genres, including doo wop, country, R&B, pop, and rock and roll. 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.

For More Golden Oldies Music
The Daily Doo Wop Rec Room has daily featured doo wop music, rock and roll hits, R&B, or rockabilly songs that were hits during the first era of rock and roll (that is, from about 1952 until the British invasion in 1964). After a song is featured, it then goes into the juke box. You are welcome to listen to any of the 40+ selections there. Every weekend, there is a Golden Oldies Juke Box Saturday Night, and the juke box is full of song requests from the 1950s and 1960s.
