One, Two, Three O’clock, Four O’clock Rock!” In the 1950’s anytime was a good time for the kids to rock. It is hard now to imagine a time when rock and roll was brand new. When a teenager had a friend who first said, “Hey, listen to this!”. Rock and roll was the most exciting sound that young people had ever heard. It was rowdy, fresh and even a little bit dangerous, according to your parents.
Let us take you back there one more time. To the time of Elvis and Buddy Holly… to the sound of La Bamba and Wake Up Little Suzie. Pull on those bobby socks and Put Your Head on My Shoulder.
