Yesterdays: A Nashville Kid Remembers the Best of Times

By Tom Henderson III

Book Overview

A personal, historical and nostalgic look back at what a Nashville kid's life was like growing up during the 1940s, '50s, '60s, and '70s. This is the second collection of the author's factual stories and vintage photographs, which first appeared in The Nashville Retrospect newspaper. From the post-war period through the wonderful "Baby Boomer" years, it describes, in detail, the songs, events and places that made those decades some of the best of times. You will "roll a yard" and go cruising, dance to an American Bandstand-like television show, dig inside those boxes of Frosted Flakes for elusive free toys, take a ride with the milkman, and scurry outside to get a Popsicle from the ice cream man. In here is the lost art of flying a kite in the 1950s and getting dropped off by your folks at the local movie house. Ever hear of stuffing a phone booth or streaking? That is in here too. Not only that, but learn what happens when a kid scribbles on a television trying to help Winky Dink escape. All this and more awaits. Now get ready for that trip back to a special time and place. A place called "Yesterdays".
