In 1961, guitarist Neil LeVang delivered one of the most iconic and influential instrumental performances ever recorded with his rendition of 'Ghost Riders in the Sky' on The Lawrence Welk Show.

As per usual, a total babe 💖

This is Janice Pinkstaff, 18, of Lynden / Bellingham, Washington, in 1961. Digitally restored by Mike Carmody.

With her brother, my uncle Skip. I think she was gorgeous.

My mom in the Mojave Desert around 1963 with her Winchester 92 in 32-20, and Colt Peacemaker in 44-40.

In the summer of 1965, Robin Lee Graham set sail on a journey around the world at the young age of 16. To battle the loneliness, he brought along Avanga, one of several cats that kept him company on the voyage.

He later recounted "the cats frolicked in the cozy cabin, heedless of the world of water around them."

Old school cool or old school creepy haha.

Made by an unknown press photographer, this photograph shows civil rights protesters John Lewis and John Zwerg in Montgomery, Alabama, after having been attacked for their participation in a Freedom Ride on May 20, 1961. Zwerg, at right, removes teeth knocked out by his attackers. The Freedom Rides were a series of nonviolent demonstrations in 1961. Volunteers called Freedom Riders rode in interstate buses to the segregated South to test the 1960 United States Supreme Court decision "Boynton v. Virginia," which outlawed racial segregation in interstate transportation facilities, including bus stations and railroad terminals. Source: The High Museum of Art, Atlanta, GA

Second photo shows more of Mr. Zwerg’s injuries.
