I love those 'rememberance' songs! I'm 84 so they bring back a lot of happy memories and surprises when I see something I have entirely forgotten about! Thanks for sharing Harri!
I remember most of them. I'm 76. My first Mickey D's was in the 1950's burger 15 Cents sounds cheap now but you didn't make a lot of money. I remember bread was 16 cents a loaf. Oh the old days Howdy Doody and Bandstand, My hit parade, Mitch Miller, the farmers bring their wagons with corn and watermelons and cantaloupes and other farm produce to our neighborhoods. Sitting out on the steps or the porch on a hot summer night because all you had was one big window fan. I'd take those days back today. They were tough but neighbors knew each other and kids played outside till the street lights came on. I've lived through the 50's 60's and on up. I've seen changes some good ones but we have lost the best ones.
The Statler Brothers had tons of great songs that I had forgotten about. Flowers on the Wall is one I know word for word. 😂 Thank you Catherine and Harri.
The Statlers were my first "boy band" back in elementary school in the '70s. I finally got to see them at their special annual July 4th "Happy Birthday USA" concert in their hometown back in '91 when I was in college. I had never before or since been at a bigger concert with so many people! I just met Harold & Don's grandsons last weekend when I saw them in concert. I'll be seeing their dads in November. So I'll be able to say that I've seen 3 generations of Reids.
The first McDonald's drive-in was opened in 1940 by brothers Maurice (“Mac”) and Richard McDonald in San Bernardino, California. They started to expand in 1948. McDonald’s was a huge success, and the brothers began a franchise program of 10 restaurants plus their original San Bernardino location.
When I was 16, I worked at one of the oldwe red and white tile McDonald's withe arches in the building, only 2 tables inside that seated 4 each. The basement was for storage, the managers office and a small room to watch training videos. Very crowded...I think they were talking about these specific old buildings.
I loved that. My aunt worked in Piggly Wiggly in Denison Tx. back then. When we went to hassle her, we knew whwn we came out, the railroad ( the Katy), would have the streets 4 awhile. It was the biggest employer in town, so nobody seemed to notice. Those were the days.
The first time we stopped at a McDonald's with Mom & Dad we waited for a car hop until we noticed customers walking up to the outside window. Hamburgers were 15 cents, fries were a dime.
I love your reaction to The Statler Brothers. There are so many great songs. They have always been nostalgic, patriotic and God loving. You would be very hard pressed to find a more true 4 part harmony quartet. Especially with Lew at tenor. Even their speaking voices have different ranges.
One of my favorite songs by The Statler Brothers, since I was a kid in the 70s. I didn't actually recognize all of these things then or now...way before my time, most of them. But I always loved the nostalgic message and the harmonies. And the video actually helped me. Now I know what a few more of these things are.
The Statler Brothers bought the old building that they attended High School in and when the sale was final, Harold Reid (the bass singer) picked up a rock and threw through what used to be the Principal’s window because that was something that he always wanted to do!
I was born in the mid '60s, and my mom always told me that I should have been born in a different era. She would even teach me the dances that she knew from highschool.
@caseyb4425 I'm a mid-'50's "Boomer" and my mom was born in 1912. When I was a young teen, she showed me how to do the "Charleston." She was a pretty serious, no-nonsense lady, but watching her do the Charleston showed me the young girl she used to be!
@@carolinasbeauty I would have loved to learn dances like that... One of my best memories is my mom showing me how to do The Stroll in our garage. Times like that were few and far between.
@@caseyb4425 I get and understand your reply! I learned to dance The Stroll from my sisters (6 &,8 yrs my senior) while our stereo played a stack of 45's Those times for me, as you mentioned, were also few and far between. I'm so glad I did get first hand demonstrations😅! If you haven't watched them, two great movies come to mind for their true depictions of that time period: "Grease" & "Dirty Dancing." Both have great music scores and dances. The second one is much more serious, dealing with social and moral codes of the time. Thank you so much for the fun exchanges! Phyllis
I’ve seen “Piggly Wiggly’s in Genoa Illinois and one in Clinton Tennessee. The stores are still in both places but renamed. I remember being little and pulling out the free prize from Jack In the Box. It’s caramel corn and roasted peanuts. A popular snack at baseball games. In the song “Take Me Out to the Ballgame” there is a line. “Buy me some peanuts and Cracker Jack I won’t care if I ever get back” 🎶 . I know This song is still song at the Chicago Cubs games. I love your channel. Oh and the Statler Brothers was one of my mothers fave so I grew up hearing them quite often and my siblings and I always got a kick out of the bass singer. Ya need to check out Roger Miller “England Swings” I’ve sang song this song since being a little girl. I have always wanted to see the Tower of Big Ben and are there still bobbies on bicycles two by two. I think bobbies are police officers 👮♀️. He also wrote and sang “King of the Road”. Your channel as much as I like it truly has me missing my momma.
Another great Statler Brother's song. I wasn't sure when Mickey Dee's opened, but I remember my older brother taking me for my first (non-homemade) hamburger there around 1960. What a treat! I'm sure you aren't old enough for most of these "memories," but I grew up with them! Thanks for the suggestion and the reaction!
@@mburkitt7678 Yes! I most certainly do. Oh, but that was when a dollar could actually buy you something. Now, I'm not sure (since it's been awhile) that you can buy any one of those things for less than $1.00. And what really burns is when they hand you your order, they expect you to tip! Since COVID, I think every single food chain (or grocery store) has been gouging John Q Public. These days, two people can rarely afford to eat at a fast food place (it's, on average, around $20+) - and buying the ingredients and making them yourself doesn't save you money either! If anything, it costs MORE to make it yourself. I am very sorry to take out my frustration on you!! Please accept my apology?
Susan When She Tried and this song I think are my favorites of theirs. The last day I drank was my 40th birthday and the last thing I listened to drunk with the volume cranked on the big headphones was The Best of The Statler Brothers. They’re awesome at volume 3, volume 11, and anywhere in between!!
Love the Statler Brothers. I saw the laser show at Stone Mountain Georgia years ago & one of the songs was "More Than A Name Upon A Wall" that was set to a scene about the Vietnam War Memorial Wall. It was very emotional to see the song brought to life on the memorial.
This was one of my choices this month because i know Hari loves them, especially the base. Great choice Kathryn and great reaction Hari. I love it when a song causes you to laugh, Hari. 😅
Great song one of my favorites. Hari since this an American song about American things, I am sure you didn’t know 90% of the things mentioned for example “Dixie cups with movie stars on the lid”. Dixie cups were little cups of ice cream that you ate with a little wooden spoon. Still any one can enjoy this Sind just by hearing the Statlers. BTW, I am old enough to know all the references.
I love TSB. They're showing a picture of the Statlers with Jimmy Fortune singing. Jimmy didn't join the gruop till 1982. You are hearing Lew DeWitts voice. Jimmy did a great job replacing Lew. But l missed hearing Lew sing with the Statler Bros. I saw them perform in concert in the middle 70's. Harold, the bass singer, was so funny. He's the comedian of the group. There are tons of songs to choose from & all are good. They wrote a lot of their songs.
Check out this song by The Statler Brothers - I'll Go To My Grave Loving You (1975 - Pop Goes The Country) Also check out Wilson Fairchild The Statler Brothers song
Hey there, Harri! I bring to you a song you should definitely check out if you’re a fan of the jazz scene… Duke Ellington’s “Washington Wobble - Take 2” from 1927. I chose Take 2 because it’s my personal favorite (and the clearest-sounding one). I hope you get to it!
You are showing how young you are but only knowing this stuff through old movies. Technology stinks, kids don't know how to socialize because of video games and the internet. It's pathetic. People can't debate things either, it's cancel culture instead. Just sad. I'd happily give up everything with microchips if people would talk to each other like they used to, kids would actually go outside and play with each other, and families would spend time together. All of that is gone because of technology.
"Do you know you are my sunshine?" My favorite Statler Brothers song.
CLASS OF 57 IS ONE OF MY FAVORITE, AND FLOWERS ON THE WALL IS ANOTHER GOOD ONE!
I love those 'rememberance' songs! I'm 84 so they bring back a lot of happy memories and surprises when I see something I have entirely forgotten about! Thanks for sharing Harri!
The class of '57. I hope they lived their dreams.
I grew up in the 50s and it was the best time in the world.
I love Statler Brothers flowers on the wall is my favorite song
Class of '57 has to be one of my favorites from them.

@@lindamorrison9755 I have too. Attic fans that made you pull covers even in the summer nights. I'm 68 and I miss those days so much now!
I remember these...ALL of these.

Really fun song! Thanks for the submission, Catherine, and for your reaction, Harri.
LOVE the Statlers!
Remember it all...GOOD OLD Days
It was a much better world.
I remember these, those and that!
I remember too much of this to want to admit. Thank you for the song and video though, I have never seen it before. Love your channel. ❤
This was a great group, known for their gospel and harmony. A!l of these references are perfect!
"ELIZABETH" their most beautiful song by far.

Just fantastic! Thanks Harri and Catherine 🌺✌️
So many YT channels don't know their nostalgia clips are predated by a song like this.
Love the Statlers. I remember a lot of these. I still buy groceries at a Piggly Wiggly here in my small town.
We still have Piggly Wiggly in North Carolina and Virginia.
@@chrisoakley5830 And in South Carolina.
@@yvonnephillips3888 Yep. I'm in SC.
They’re still in Alabama
I miss the Pig here in Texas; saw one in Oklahoma going from Ft Smith,AR to Muskogee a few years ago and just lit up with a smile.
Kept running into Don Reid in Walmart in Harrisonburg Va. when my daughter went to college there. Great bunch of guys. No pretense!
This was my childhood....Loved it....Americana....
First McDonalds in US opened in 1940 in California. I love to hear Jimmy Fortune, which is the tenor of the Statler Brothers sing I Believe :)
Like many here, I too grew up during that era, and remember all those things. It truly was a great time to be a kid. Thanks Catherine and Harri.
Harold, the bass man, sings lead on Atlanta Blue. Picture is another good one that he has his own verse in.
I loved that. My aunt worked in Piggly Wiggly in Denison Tx. back then. When we went to hassle her, we knew whwn we came out, the railroad ( the Katy), would have the streets 4 awhile. It was the biggest employer in town, so nobody seemed to notice. Those were the days.
OMG!!! I'm 72 and remember rolled down socks! 🤣
You would have to be a Boomer to remember what they are talking about.
The first time we stopped at a McDonald's with Mom & Dad we waited for a car hop until we noticed customers walking up to the outside window. Hamburgers were 15 cents, fries were a dime.
I remember when McDonalds used to list on their sign how many millions sold!
If you haven't done their Class Of '57, it should be next. Awesome song about a graduating class with big hopes and dreams.
I Sure remember these
Thank you brother...good memories...

Harold Reid is the bass voice you hear.

It was great growing up in the 60s and 70s. TV was even in its infancy. Technology was a transistor radio.

I was thinking that sounded like Lew.
Never heard any of these..where have I been??
Here in WI we still have Piggly Wiggly grocery stores. All are employee owned.
Class of 57!
Whatever Happened to Randolph Scott? by the Statlers
Harold is the bass
Oh wow! I remember girls doing it in the 50’s…but not the guys. And yes I remember a lot of these….so yeah I’m old!
Count on me by the Statlers
OH man, now we really going back!
Bed of Roses is their highest rated song and my favorite. It came out when I was a kid.
He did that one not long ago. I think around the end of last month
Maple Street Memories, is another good song.
I am 60 and I barely remember ANY of these. The old fashioned soda machines at the gas station is about the only thing I personally remember.
1955 with 15 cent hambers
The Statler Brothers started out as backup singers to Johnny Cash.
I love the Statler Brothers. Check out the soong Bed of Roses.
He reacted to that one like 3 weeks ago I want to say. Good song
@@catherinedorney6092 thanks. I found his reaction right after I commented here. Lol
One of the singers is Jimmy Fortune. You should listen to his version of Elizabeth, which he performed on Larry's Country Dinner.
Never saw daddy's roll down socks
Harri now ya gotta do-"Does your chewing gum lose it's Flavor?"
If you love this one Harris you should check out Counting Flowers On The Wall by the Starlets or Pencil Thin Moustache by Jimmy Buffett!!❤
Review Atlanta Blue, Harold Reid (the bass) has the lead and smashes it out of the park!
Do "Flowers on the Wall"

McDonald's opened first store in 1940. In San Bernardino, California.
McDonalds first store opened in 1940 but I believe they didn't start franchises until the 1950's.
I remember having McDonald’s in the 50’s
Try "Shirley Burnell"
Mcdonalds has been around since 1940
You mean the original owned by the McDonalds brothers.
@TD402dd right, and then bought and franchised later by Ray Kroc
@@phyllisfranks7739 Michael Keaton was in the movie "The Founder" which told the story.
I forgot about heel taps. 😂
Can't edit other post so, McDonald's opened in April 1955.
