OK, here's the deal.
For the music at the RFJH party Friday night and the OPRFHS shindig
Saturday night, Dr. Reptile is doing a collection of music from '63 to
'69 that should bring back the memories. This will be divided into
soul, rock/pop/novelty, and folk/ballad/instrumental categories at
least. There will also be a collection of dance hits from the 60's.

We are also hoping to put this music on CD's or a thumb drive after
the reunion for those interested -- cost will be for fixed expenses
only. We may also include a collection of pix from the reunion that
attendees submit or can't resist sending from the past even if they
didn't make it.

I'm looking for suggestions for songs from that era that absolutely
can't be left out. They have to have been at least minor hits on the
radio, no family singalongs or hootenannies. No Boys Choir, Mixed
Ensemble, or A Cappella Choir bootlegs. I probably have everything I
need and will have to exercise editorial control but I'd be interested
if anyone has anything I'm missing. If it's one song and I don't have
it you can even email it to me in MP3 or MP4 (Mac audio) file. If I
already have it and/or already have it on the list I'll let you know.

Thanks for any suggestions. Looking forward to it. The problem is that
everyone will be talking instead of listening to music...

One request only.

How about Gloria (the Shadows of Knight version) since they played at one of
our dances.
