Spreading joy, one vintage song at a time

Take a stroll down memory lane as we share joyous, magical moments with residents of assisted living and skilled nursing communities.

Sock Hops and Movies in the 70s

There was a lady at our first performance who told us about life back when they were kids, in the 70s. I asked what they did for fun. She said sometimes they would go see movies. They would also spend a lot of time talking on the phone, and she remembers her mom scolding her, “I don’t know how you girls have so much to talk about!” And also, every Friday, their high school would hold a “sock hop”, a dance, in the gymnasium. They called it a sock hop because they made the kids take their shoes off, so they wouldn’t damage the floor of the gym with all that dancing. She also said that, sometimes, for fun, they would go drag-racing on a nearby highway that was under construction. I don’t know how they got in, but they did!




Stay tuned for more updates and stories from performances!
