Those old Wurlutzer & Rock Ola Juke Boxes still fascinate me. What great machines. The really old Wur's may have played only ten 78's, but how it glided them up to the "needle" was amazing. They, and the later Rock Olas, which played 40 45's, almost never missed placing the stylus right on the record's lead in groove. A cousin's Webcor 'Holiday Fonograf' was lucky if it landed the arm correctly once out of ten cycles. Then again, Webcor couldn't spell 'phonograph.' Were those Hula Hoops from Hawaii? Nah, China, perhaps a precursor of things to come. But the Hula Hoop fad certainly didn't hurt Chubby Checker's remake of Hank Ballard's The Twist. And to the dismay of Billy Graham, the first fad British invasion, the bikini, swept the gal's bods and the guy's eyes from Atlantic City Shore to New Mexico sunspots. We, at oldiestelevision.com, had a blast assembling bits of Movietone news clips to The Olympic's 1957 rocker, Dance By The Light Of The Moon. We at OTV hope you enjoyed the great memories as much as we had putting it all together.
