1964 - "Do Wah Diddy Diddy" by Manfred Mann's was released.
Ah - Childhood memories...
One thing my dad has always disliked about his house is the lack of a garage. Dad loves to build things, and hasn't always had a convenient place to do his handy work. I remember him working on projects in our kitchen, and the project I remember most is the entertainment center he built. I vividly remember the smell of the wood glue and saw dust as he assembled the large tv stand/bookcase. He'd have the radio on while he worked, and I remember "Do Wah Diddy Diddy" playing. He must have been listening to an oldies station, because the song was over 20 years old then.
I also remember dancing around and singing this and many other 60's songs with my sisters. I'm so thankful to have aso many happy childhood memories. I know a lot of people aren't so lucky.
