1950s Music Trivia Songs, Artists and Events

Here’s to the 1950s when rock and roll was new and the songs were lovelorn. Billboard was just an idea that was in the first stages of being used as a test of a song’s popularity, and many of the songs crossed over genres. From the R&B clubs to the stages of The Grand Ole’ Opry, music was being written and played everywhere. Test your 1950s music knowledge with challenging questions about the music industry, the artists and the songs they wrote. Don’t worry, I included some easy questions too.

The first in a series of music trivia books.

Yosemite National Park for Non-Hikers

I am not much of a hiker. I can hike for a couple of hours before I am tired and grumpy. I am the last one to get to the top where I am looking for a place to sit down. This book is about my first hike. It was not a big hike, but it was enough to make me sorry that I didn’t have hiking boots and the right socks. It also made me thankful for warm beer and cold pizza once I got back to the campsite.

Since the first hike, I have gone back to Yosemite, so this also includes my hike up (with proper equipment) to the top of some falls and my own photography.

Skylar Lynn and the Grey Bunny

Skylar Lynn has lost her best friend: grey bunny. She has looked everywhere for him. Can you help her find him?

I admit, this is a vanity project that I wrote for my granddaughter. She ate some of the pages, so maybe it was a little too early in her life for me to give her a paperback book. However, between jumping on and off of the couch and munching on pages, I did get it read to her like maybe three times, two and a half at the very least.

It is illustrated by Susan Carson who is her great-grandmother and a professional artist.

If you are interested in seeing whether or not that grey bunny was found, I suggest you read the book.
