September 5 - Diddy Dum Diddy Do

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.
