Annette

Reports coming out from Disney is that Annette Funicello has passed away at 70, she had a long battle with MS and i'm guessing it had a factor in her early death.
I was too young for the Mickey Mouse Club so my love all things Annette started with her DIsny films and the Beach Party movies.
So beautiful she was and really always will be.
Goodbye Annette and thank you.
Rest in Peace

Going back To the 60's

Come and join on a trip back to the 60's, when life seemed more fun.







You can have the present, i'll live in the past.

Summer!

Happy first day of summer, let's hit the beach!

It's Summer!

Hit the beach like Frankie and Annette!

Beach Blanket Blogging

E Banana member Linda wanted some Frankie Avalon and Beach Party music. The Beach Party films i remember fondly and got all the movies on DVD and they're still after 40 years. I remember seeing Beach Blanket Bingo at the Drive-In (remember those?) when i was a mere small child.
So here's the title sequence as sung by Frankie & Annette ( *sigh* Annette *sigh* ).
Beach Blanket Bingo (1965)
