Garage bands played at dances we had to pay to get into. My clothes were hand me downs, so I didn't have much chance to follow latest fashions.
All this in a small village, and I was the 7th of 7 children, and my father worked in a factory, so not much money unless I found work, which was hard to do under age 16.

That's cool, thanks.

Offering root beer 1960s style at 1960s prices could be a fun thing. Were you in New York then?
