Hi all and welcome to my blog. I hope your enjoying the hop today. Dick Clark was an influence in my life and the show American Bandstand was a huge part of life. This was the go to spot on Saturdays at home or a friends house we made time to be in front of the TV for this show. This is where I learned to dance and kepted up with the latest dances, rate the record was a cool spot on the show after seeing it here and if I liked it then I was downtown to the local store getting the 45. Yep life without bandstand is unimagineable for me it rocked my world!

    1. Oh Google is the best! I found everything online for this project other than the picture of myself. Wish I would have had pics from Jr High of some of the dances I went to for this, but no such luck so went with my age instead. Thanks so much for the comments
