Anything in the Top 40 from 1964 through 1974 is fine with me. Especially The Beatles, DC 5 and all the entire English invasion bands. It's all great music.

Music.....the must haves:
WipeOut....because EVERY band played it.
Duke of Earl...because everyone sang it.
I Got You Babe....because it was on the jukebox at Nobscot
Pizza and got played waaaaayyy too much.
Anything from the movie, The Graduate, because many of us saw it multiple times. {No lying...I sold y'all popcorn at least 20 times - - just before the tassel scene, guys.)
Purple People Eater. Because we taught it to our kids and they screamed with laughter at how uncool we were.
I Wanna Hold Your Hand. It hit Framingham for the first time in 1961 and stayed through 1967.
Green Beret. In grateful memory of Carl Wakefield...who didn't graduate with us because he went off to serve, and die, in Vietnam.
"Waterfall" by Chris Williamson because its about time that the Queers of '67 got a voice.

Hello to everyone!
Well, one of my strongest memories growing up in Framingham were the "Battle of the Bands" and the "Cop Hops" held in Nevins Hall in the Memorial Building. The local band that I remember most, aside from Eric Pell's brother John's Phluff (?), was Tony Soul and the Midnight Hours. I swear that Tony would walk around the hall four times in every set singing Wilson Pickett's "In the Midnight Hour." In memory of Tony, wherever he is, although he was a South guy, we should have "In the Midnight Hour."
All the best,
Gary |

Look if we're gonna gyrate (scary thought) we need something like Otis Day and the Knights from Animal House. Wilson Pickett, Fabulous Johhny D etc. If we want to chat, Bobby Vinton ( and one or more of the other Bobby's) and other simlilar crooners will provide suitable background music. Perhaps a mix?

 I second that emotion! Not the song by Smokey Robinson was it? put your same picks: Stones(Satisfaction -I associate with the radio play then; Doors/Jimi Hendrix was on the Cusp or just after graduation. I remember seeing Jimi at the Carosel Theatre in Framingham with Carol Kelly and going up on stage with everybody else and shaking his hand--like everybody else! I remember your gymnastic feats blew everybody's mind at a contest or exhibition in the Gym with everybody there. I remember pumping you about your years in San Diego when your Dad was in the service or stationed there before Framingham North and you telling me San Diego was boring because there was nothing to do there.
It's good to hear you again and I second your musical picks into the bargain! Phil Nurenberg

Hi everyone ...
Just found the web site ... I'm glad we can contact everyne like this ... but it makes me feel f--cking old ... last time I saw you guys (20th reunion I think) ... who ever heard of a PC or a cell phone or a DVD?
Anyway ... I've been a DJ for 12 years now ... Chris and Janice once took a class at a swing club I managed some seven or eight years ago
If you need any musical help for the reunion ... I guess it's right up my proverbial alley
