The Dominican Republic has always been a decade (or two) behind the US, so you can say my young years were lived in DR's jukebox's golden age--I loved it. There was one (yellow and pink) in this grocery store/butcher shop/bar/kids hangout/the only entertainment of the village/slash/slash/slash and I used to help sweeping the floor and stuff, so at the every once in a while I was allowed to pick a song. I would dance on top of the butcher block (I was 8 or 9) as everybody clapped and sang along; I miss those days!<br /><br />I want a wicked box!Magaly Guerrerohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18295455026184103230noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-447321916012029979.post-25374110886158971912011-04-18T09:18:05.426-05:002011-04-18T09:18:05.426-05:00What a fun trip down musical memory lane.

...What a great and unique choice for the letter J!<br /><br />They still hold a fascination for us. Our favorite local place [they serve blue crabs! bonus!] has an old timey juke box and we spend the equivalent of the GNP in playing tunes while we eat. LOVE! It is part of what makes the place so great. :)<br /><br />Like the history. Thanks.SkippyMomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09479661523059481730noreply@blogger.com
