Campfire Chronicle #2, "America In Black and White" is now available on YouTube

This second Campfire Chronicle talks about growing up and coming of age in America between two magical musical moments: Elvis’s first appearance on the Ed Sullivan Show on September 9, 1956 and Sullivan’s introduction of the Beatles on February 9, 1964.

A black and white TV was the Campfire of the day then. The family gathered around that flickering box on Sundays and watched Ed Sullivan introducing a variety of acts trying, in the course of an hour, to all ages in the family. (Does anyone remember who appeared on the show with Elvis or The Beatles?)

At a time when more and more of us hold the “window to the world” in our hands and watch whatever we want whenever we want often segregated from the person next to us by our ear buds it’s hard to imagine (or at my age remember) a time and a world when we watched together as a family and as a country something like The Beatles first appearance on the Ed Sullivan Show.
