lost & found vintage toys

golden magazine ~ june/july 1970

it's been a long time since i've posted a vintage golden magazine ~

this one from summer of 1970 lost its cover ~

but it's still a special issue because of this wonderama article ~

who else remembers wonderama with bob mcallister? ~

like the price is right only for kids, it was one of toxic's favorite shows because if you got picked out of the audience you could play games to win cool toys! ~

i was lucky enough to find this dvd also ~

snake in a can! ~

hard to believe this was all 50 years ago ~

interesting trees & colorful cardboard costumes :D ~

the 70s issues of the golden magazine for boys & girls were less colorful than the earlier 60s gems ~

all about yellowstone park ~

time of the loon.. sounds timely ~

summer flowers for winter keeping ~

what kids like ~

platinum '78 songbook of the superstars

let's peek into the ghost closet today ~

there's my sadly neglected guitar hiding back amongst my skeletons ~

i've owned a few guitars in my lifetime, acoustic & electric ~

now might be a good time to pull out my guitar books & practice ~

this old platinum '78 song book has seen some use ~

(it used to look like this, thank you internet) ~

i think a good portion of my grey matter was used up remembering 70s song lyrics ~

much of that was the beatles ;) ~

there was no better era music-wise than toxic's era ~

late 60s through early 80s ~

our older sister played guitar well & taught us early ~

who among us vintage kids can forget disco duck! ~

classic socal favorites ~

toxic used to practice regularly ~

love neil young, so nostalgic ~

seriously, every teenager who owned a guitar in the 70s attempted stairway to heaven ~

toxic also had a big beatles songbook, but we loaned it to a friend & never saw it again.. lol ~

yesterday ~

all these old songs hold such associations ~

my music tabs ~
