Do you sometimes find yourself longing for “the good old days”? Do you laugh at yourself for even thinking this because – after all – you’re not even 50 yet? And - upon seeing some of the things the kids of today have, or when you see how easy they have it, do you catch yourself thinking out loud “When I was a kid…” only to cover your mouth in horror as you realize that you sound just like your parents? Do you feel a jolt of…you’re not sure what…when you realize that you’re thinking of the 70’s? How good things were in the 70’s?

Join the author as he recounts his own experiences growing up in this avocado green and burnt orange decade. The things we had and the things we didn’t have; the things we took for granted and what family life was like in those years. Remember together the music, the movies, the cars, the toys, the fashions, and so much more as your nostalgic and sentimental recollections play once again before you like a worn out 8mm movie in your mind .

We were kids in the 60’s, teens in the 70’s, and now we’re almost 50. This is a humorous, melancholy, pensive, and fun-filled essay on what it was like to grow up in this generation. Try to keep up with the fun as you revisit your childhood memories, and be prepared to perhaps once again find yourself longing for “the good old days”.

What a nice break in my day….

"I recently read Darryll Sherman's book and I'm still smiling. My memory is pretty bad, so reading this book was hilarious to remember old toys (toss across), movies (Brian's song), music (Pat Benatar) and even commercials (Ancient Chinese secret, huh?). I even learned something new! We had prefixes to our phone numbers. My grandma's was JU at the beginning of her phone number. Now "Pennsylvania 6-5000" makes sense! I could go on entertaining myself here, but I will just highly recommend this book. It'd be perfect for a birthday gift, especially for that person that has everything! I also think it will be great fun to read down the road when current things mentioned in the book (like e-bay, google, and x-box) will also be a thing of the past! Buy one for you and a friend and have a good laugh!"

I loved this book….

"I just finished reading this book for the second time. What an enjoyable way to pass the time and what a lot of good old memories it re-awakened. I must admit I'm a wee bit older than the author and not the same gender but reading his book was like watching my little brothers growing up all over again. There was plenty I did relate to though - wonderful memories of a simpler time! My 23 year old son read my copy and I had a lot of fun responding to his questions with even more stories of days gone by. Read it and enjoy!"
