Where Or When: Dion


This was the number 21 hit in 1960. I really don't remember it, but the checker label is certainly familiar. I have to say that after the zenith of my "Nancy Bueller" days of 1958-9 I never had much interest in rock n' roll. I retreated into the world of my parents' music and WNEW-AM. It wasn't such a bad decision, except it started to be dominated by the drech of Ferrante and Teicher and 101 Strings and not the great Riddle arrangements of Sinatra and Ella. Eventually I found the logical path for myself by becoming a jazz fan when I reached college. What abut folk and protest music? I guess I needed to rebel against the rebellers
