VAUGHN MONROE - WHEN THE LIGHTS GO ON ALL OVER THE WORLD

Picture us, as little kids listening to this on our floor size radio, as our parents sat in their matching chairs, smoking with a standing ashtray between them. The ashtray had a clam shape that took and dumped the ashes and cigarettes below , so they would be out of sight and not smell as bad...then the air raid warning would sound.......remembering that sad, sad time, when men/boys left their sweethearts, fathers left their families and young men left their dreams to fight for freedom for our country, some gone for more than 5 years...some never to return....we can never forget...we fought for freedom.
