I've posted lots of vids from the '5s and '60s and such. I don't think I've posted anything from the great Bill Haley, though. Too bad.
I could have seen him in concert, I suppose, he died in 1981. Weird thing about that is that I went to an oldies concert (with a very lovely school chum gal who, strangely, deigned to be seen in public with me) in about 1975, with a "Bill Haley and the Comets" retro band, by which I assumed that the Bill-ster himself had already passed away. Since at the time, the Internet was in its "not yet born" phase, I had no way to look it up easily, so I assumed it was so. Apparently, not so. At least, not for a few years after that concert.
Anyway, here are a few Bill Haley vids:
His most famous:
One that was played for years after the Loma Prieta quake:
And his earliest (so far as I know):
Iz out!

I love these songs. They're what I grew up listening to (they're what Mom listened to, and the music from that era was all she allowed to be played in the house). I can still sing all of the lyrics to all three songs, even though I haven't heard them for years.
