And the answer is . . "how am I supposed to remember what I was doing in January 1959when I can't even remember what I had for breakfast"?????  -    (by the way. . . you probably had toast and coffee.  Say that next time you're asked . . . they'll leave you alone)

Listening to these songs might help you out.  Tunes are like memory trippers.  Listen to a song that activates that switch and suddenly you are in the 50's at a dance, riding in a car or diving off the raft at Pigeon Lake. What memories do these selections trigger in your mind.  

Released in mid to late January 1959 . . .  one made the top 10 in January and stayed there for 5 weeks.  The other 2 made the top 10 early Feb and stayed there for 10 weeks.  

'Richard Steven Valenzuela' (May 13, 1941 – February 3, 1959), known as Ritchie Valens, was an American singer, songwriter and guitarist. A rock and roll pioneer and a forefather of the Chicano rock movement, Valens' recording career lasted only eight months.[1]  On February 3, 1959, on what has become known as "The Day the Music Died", Valens died in a small-plane crash in Iowa, a tragedy that also claimed the lives of fellow musicians Buddy Holly and J. P. "The Big Bopper" Valens was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2001
Lloyd Price (born March 9, 1933) is an American R&B vocalist.[1] Known as "Mr. Personality", after the name of one of his biggest million-selling hits.  Since the beginning of the Billboard Hot 100 era in 1958, Price is the longest surviving solo artist to have generated a #1 single on that chart.
Antoine "Fats" Domino Jr. (born February 26, 1928) is an American rhythm and blues and rock and roll pianist and singer-songwriter. Domino released five gold (million-copy-selling) records before 1955.[1] Domino also had 35 Top 40 American hits and has a music style based on traditional rhythm and blues ensembles of bass, piano, electric guitar, drums, and saxophone.[1]
Here are some other "memory trippers"  Port Sandy Bay,  Simmets, Timber Lodge and  Cedar Lodge . . . trigger anything???  
                           They work for me!

Till Next week
