American Bandstand, 1957

A year or so ago, I posted this comment about a tape of American Bandstand I'd bought. The other day I got this e-mail: "Go to this website http://archives.museum.tv/login?from=archive. Create a login and then go to the tv archive, input bandstand and you'll find a good copy (320 x 240) that you can watch."

Sure enough, it's there. The episode is said to be the second national episode, but that's bound to be incorrect. Great stuff nevertheless if you're geezer like me. Also if you're a whippersnapper who'd like to see what things were like back in the Olden Days.

Could be just my computer, but about 1/3 of the picture seems to be missing. Still recommended, though.
