    My name is "Mary Lou" and I loved that song when I was a senior in 1961. Whoopee! Glad I found this recording. Also, my dad was a good friend of Harriet's in college and they played in the band together.

      Mrs Blue Sky that happened to me about a Month ago 🥰 I was a child when he died, but remember that night...the reports vividly. I knew a bit of his music from seeing him appear on various TV shows at the time (Solid Gold, etc) & had to have heard it (not realizing) on the oldies stations my Mom & Grandma listened to. I absolutely loved "Garden Party." I still do today, but "Hello Mary Lou" has become one I play at least a few times a week. Timeless voice & music. ❤ Love your name..."Mr. Blue Sky" is one of my favorite ELO songs, a great deal of meaning & from the year I was born 😄

      Born in 1974, but the time from 1954 / 1955 - 1969 is the golden age of music. With people of your age appreciating this kind of music brings hope that it will last for generations to come! Let's keep the music alive.

    This was being played a lot when hubby and I were on our honeymoon road trip in February 1961. Ricky's guitarist here, James Burton, learned the guitar keys on my husband's guitar. My husband knew the chords but couldn't play because he had no rhythm. James Burton went on to play in bands of Ricky, Elvis, John Denver and most of the "biggies" here and there.

      ***** Ron was the son of anti-communist Bulgarian and Russian immigrants. His relatives have fought against the Turks and the communists, and he was an idealistic youngster, who sincerely believed that he had to contribute to the struggle for justice and freedom. So did I. Ron was an infantryman; so was I. I survived barely (re. my own infantryman's ordeal in Vietnam). YES, War IS Hell. May the souls of all 60,000 Americans and INNOCENT Vietnamese and others, who perished during the Vietnam War, rest in peace.

      Yes, I kissed him twice at two different times. I did not know him personally, however because we were such good fans who always went to his shows he began to recognize us. He would even stop playing so I could take a picture. He played at a very nice dinner theatre in Phoenix about once a month a week at a time. He was very gracious and a very nice man! The last time he kissed me my husband said....damn Ricky why did you have to do that....now she won't let me kiss her for 6 months. He fell over laughing.
