“I’ve Got A Brand New Pair of Roller Skates, You’ve Got A Brand New Key”

Recently, that old song about roller skates from the 70’s came to my mind. It reminded me of my childhood, and my first pair of roller skates in 1945. They were the buckle-on style, and required a key to adjust them to my shoes. I received my skates for Christmas, and was crazy about my new skates. Being cold weather at the time, I was not able to go out and skate on the sidewalk. My mother actually let me skate in the kitchen on the new, red inlaid linoleum! Through the years I skated miles and miles on the sidewalk with those buckle-on skates.
