The 1980's

khsclasspicsbanne1r.jpg

The "80"s;  A different time, people want to say it became the "Me" generation. A time our country was growing quickly, people started moving all over, as travel became easier, and air lines made it easy to get to work and back home...
 
The music was changing again as it has for decades, the long hair was becoming a thing of the past. But it became the decade of new technology,  answering machines for the phone, cordless phones and, most of all, home computers. It was now possible for everyone to have a computer in the home.  It became a time that, if you bought it off the shelf, it was already obsolete.
That is how fast it was changing.
 
I do need some help, scroll down this page to the music player.  Look over the songs there, submit the names of songs that you remember, that brings back the 80's for you.  My information is at the bottom, just send me a note with the name of the song and if you can remember the artist include that as well.  I will  try to find them and download them as quickly as possible.   Thanks.
