THE PRIMROSE CHRONICLES

By: Marty Young
  • Summary

  • A nostalgic look back into a magical time & neighborhood - Primrose Ave, 1950’s & 60’s through the recalling of the many experiences of the eldest child of one family, the Young’s, 4425 Primrose, Indianapolis Indiana.
    If you want a break from the harsh realities of 21st century life, and desire a fanciful excursion into a simpler time;
    if you're seeking a reason to smile and perhaps nod in appreciative agreement about "the good ol' days”, you might find a landing place here.
    Give us a listen and see if you can stop with just one episode, but rather find yourself "hooked" on the peeks you'll get into a time long past but regularly yearned for.
    Welcome to THE PRIMROSE CHRONICLES!!

    Episode 304 of The Primrose Chronicles has finally dropped, with a tale about 1950’s & 60’s teen dances & the brutal hesitance of gangly, awkward and self-conscious boys to learn the seemingly dance du jour,
    At least for one teen, it was a harrowing but necessary ordeal.
    As you listen, I hope you find it humorous and just a bit memorable as well.
    In any case, enjoy.
    It was a long time coming!!!

    Blessings!!

    A favorite TPC Episode of season two was the “Characters of the Chronicles” interview with Bob Basler, author of the online literary work, 5 AM Stories.
    He was one of The Chronicles creator& host’s closest childhood buddies from the Ol’ Neighborhood & is now a good friend after reconnecting over the last several years.
    When he first joined the TPC mike back in May of 2023, his entertaining weekly post had just launched to a small but appreciative readership and our back & forth was memorable and great fun.
    TPC Episode 303 catches up with Bob after 70+ posts with over 60,000 downloads, easily found by googling “5am Stories” or going straight to the website , robertbasler.substack.com
    But with this TPC Show you’ll hear from Bob off the cuff, guided, often unsuccessfully by the host.
    Again the conversation is lively & at times a bit off center, reflected by the variety & scope of topics that arise and the subsequent observations voiced.
    It’s a most enjoyable & entertaining listen.
