Synopsis

Continuing the humor and nostalgia of his earlier works (When I Was A Kid, Best of Times, and Yesterdays), author Tom Henderson offers another insightful look back at growing up during the Baby Boom years, particularly in Nashville. Read about: talking on home telephones with party lines, playing pranks at sleep overs and slumber parties, and missing out on college “panty raids.” He reminisces about scoring big in the neighborhood Wiffle Ball league, playing Knothole baseball, rockin' out to Wolfman Jack and 45 rpm records, and even being delighted by the tales of Uncle Remus or frightened by "kid-friendly" bedtime stories. Unlike his previous three books, Once Upon a Time also includes more somber remembrances, such as the story of Steve Thompson, a popular high-school kid who died from a football injury in 1955. Once Upon a Time is a must-have for fans of Tom's previous Baby Boomer books and for anyone who is nostalgic for growing up in the '50s, '60s, and ‘70s.
