Note RCA introduces 45 rpm records
My love of music began in 1949
Things were better in 1950
My father disappeared
Wine no longer the food staple
Mom was dating my future stepdad
He died this year three months short of 101
We began growing a victory garden
First we dug up 56 wine bottles buried
Some half full some empty in the yard
I learned from my Stepdad the love of
growing vegatables and flowers and grapes
Mom was happy for the first time in her life
Israel and Egypt sign armistice in Rhodes
Japanese women adopting Western ways
Berlin Blockade is ended
Ingrid Bergman says she is no saint
See we are all human I drove station wagon
George Orwells book foresees a grim 1984
RCA makes 3-color TV Picture tube
Just when I was getting used to the test pattern
and turning my head watch screen revolving around
Kukla Fran and Ollie and faked wrestling
Four Viet Minh battallions attack French
North Korea Reds invate South
There are 150 million of us, Census finds
Today there are that many illegal immigrants
Inchon landing surprises the enemy
American Marines quickly liberate Soeul
Voice is on I have to go a family thing
It's better that watching dancing with the Stars
Or in that day Eddie Cantor on oblong screen
