Awww Doc , you're not old love , but , if it makes you feel any better , I can remember TV finishing in the evening with the anthem and then watching that white dot in the middle slowly fading away :-)
Sorry Doc - JFK was shot in 1963 (I was 9). But I also remember watching the dot on the screen, and the test card because - although people todaty wouldn't believe it - TV closed down at certain times of the day didn't it!
I agree that the 60's were very good musically - I grew up to The Stones (my mum wouldn't let me go to see them when I was 11 - I have never forgiven her!), Pink Floyd, Jimi Hendrix.
