I’m thinking I’d play Blueberry Hill by Fats Domino.

Pappy, Isn't it "JUKE" box ? Not "jute" .

Remember getting a nickel to put in the table-top juke box and then waiting for "your" song to play? Hopefully, it would come up before you finished dessert.

I remember the last Jukebox we had in this little market town was way back in the mid 70's...and we used to play anything from Johnny prestons' Running bear to frankie Valli's ''my eyes adored you... on it...
Does our one coin have to be from a specific decade Pappy?

Not really Holly. I’m from the 5 plays for a quarter era, back in the fifties. Our ice cream place had little pay boxes in each booth.

Everyone has a song or songs that bring back memories.....every time I hear Silver Wings I think of Bangkok.
About mid 73' or so, when I was working in Vietnam, I received word that my superiors had noticed that I hadn't been out of country in over two years and they wanted me to leave VN for a few days to unwind and clear my head.......so I hopped on a plane and went to Bangkok for a few days, all expenses paid of course.
I was in a honky-tonk late one night that had a live Thai band and a expat got up on stage and started singing Silver Wings and the place went dead silent.....the guy was really good and you'd have sworn that it was Merle Haggard singing.
Good memories.
