Friday 12th. - Remembering Annette

I was saddened to learn today that one of my "crushes" of the early 60s, when I was but a young teen, passed away yesterday.
Annette Funicello, forever in my mind as a Mouseketeer and then as the singer of  "Tall Paul", had succumbed to the evils of Multiple Sclerosis at age 70.

So in today's show I will be featuring her songs, most of which made it into the Top Ten both in the USA and here in Australia.

The rest of the program will include a mixed selection of 1950s and 1960s music, so please join me for three hours of reminiscing.
