Groove Yard Show - Visit 230 - Playlist - Deep In The 50s I rummaged through recorded relics finding forgotten 45s, long lost LPs, and great golden gems from the music of the 20th Century and found myself in the deep dark corners of The Groove Yard for the tunes in this visit and got just a little fixated on the fifties ending up with 60 minutes of varied music from the 1950s. There is some Blues, some Doo-wop, some Rockabilly and some other stuff and I can promise no Dean Martin, Connie Francis, or any stuff like that. Play Episode
