    An interesting insight of a completely different era. This was the first contest I ever watched and is one of my earliest memories of anything. I watched with my father and we filled our own scores in the chart printed in a newspaper. In those days, that’s what we were encouraged to do rather than throw parties.
    We were both disappointed that Lulu didn’t win outright, as we couldn’t see any merit in the three other winning songs. A lesson I learned (at age 8) is that I’d have enjoyed the contest a lot more if I’d got to know those other entrants as much as I had Boom Bang A-Bang. Not so easy to do in 1969 as it is now. We couldn’t have begun to imagine how much the contest has changed in 50 years.
