Modesto's love-affair with the 'fabulous fifties' and the 'turbulent sixties' is re-visited each June during 'Graffiti Summer', a month-long celebration of that bygone era. "It was a simpler time and a slower pace," recalls lyricist and publicist Stan Countz. "It seemed we had less crime and more style and grace. We looked our 'friends' right in the face. We had no use for Youtube, Facebook or Myspace. Tattoos were taboo. Only cowboys cried 'yahoo'. We loved Gomer Pyle and 'Peyton Place'. We were lost on 'Gilligan's Isle' and 'Lost in Space.' -- Back in the Day by Stan C. Countz, Valley Views Productions, copyright 2007, all rights reserved.
