I'm listening to Fessa John Hook's Beach Music Survey of the the Top Ten songs for 1954. I was 3 at the time, so don't remember any, but am familiar with some of the songs. Other songs I've never heard before.
#40 Get It off Your Mind-- Robins
#39 I'm Stuck-- Five Jets
HM Oh What a Fool-- Joseph "Mr. Google Eyes" August (really, a Google back in 1954?)
#38 Tick Tock-- Marvin and Johnny
#37 'Lizabeth-- Thrillers
HM I'm a Wine Drinker-- Bards
#36 Honey Hush-- Big Joe Turner
HM Love Contest-- Ruth Brown
#35 Shim, Sham, Shimmy-- Champion Jack DuPree
#34 My man's an Undertaker-- Dinah Jackson
#33 Jungle Juice-- Stick McGhee and His Buddies
HM Fifty Five Seconds-- Otis Williams and the Charms
#32 I Ain't Drunk-- Jimmy Liggins
#32 Talkin' That talk-- Jimmy Liggins
#31 A Dollar Down-- Louis Jordan and His Tympany 5

Being an account of some things I'm interested in, what I'm doing, and reflections on my past, especially music.
Listen to this man. Seven years of college, you know. Trying to reason with 2020 and, now, 2022.
