Good morning ET. I was in the Philippines and I was only 7 years old in 1956. Later on I have known about ELVIS. He was a good singer. I like him. Enjoy the day! "The only way to have a friend is to be one."

Oh Dear! I hate to reveal this, but I was 21 years old in 1956, and was serving in the British Army in Malaya. Those were the days my friend, we hoped they'd never end. Alfie...

Little did I know that in January of 1957 I would be diagnosed with TB and spend 6 months in a private TB Sanitorium, the former home of James Lick, a sea captain if I remember correctly. The home overlooked San Jose, California and was about 1,000 feet high.

Hi Earthy: I was 7 years old and saw my first horror film "From Hell it Came" about a terrifying tree monster.

Hi Earthy...I hear you and I was a young sprout at the age of 13. I recall somewhere around then or before we moved from where my parents homesteaded and moved in with my grandmother (my dads mother). That was a big adjustment as I wasn't close to her but the good part was we lived on the same rod as my cousins. Man that is a lot of years ago. Thanks for posting that flashback Earthy.

I was 4 years old, lol, I don't remember Heartbreak Hotel, but I do know who Elvis was and can recall some of his songs.

P.S. I forgot, that was the year I won a dance contest for dancing the "Soupy Shuffle". I went to the t.v. station and danced it with Soupy Sales and his two dog puppets Black Fang and White Tooth.

lol - 1956 is a few years ago. I was six (birthday later in the year) having arrived in Australia from Indonesia late September 1955. Before my parents bought a suitable house on small acreage, we lived in a small house overlooking a swamp which would magically transform into a temporary 'tea' coloured lake from the shed leaves of the surrounding tea trees (melaleuca) with many waterbirds appearing from seemingly nowhere and amplified serenading of frogs after heavy rain. It was quite an adventure for us children. I also remember how we would all laugh as our family gathered excitedly around the radio to turn up the volume whenever Bill Bailey's 'Rock Around The Clock' came on. It was a fun time. Thanks for this post ET

 oops - Bill Bailey's 'Rock Around The Clock' amended to Bill Haley [and The Comets]

Pretty sure my diaper was full then. GBU, Gavin
