Tip: Route '66: Oldies from 45 years ago

Bring back memories of a summer from 45 years ago -- for less than $10.

While many in the over-50 crowd have embraced music downloads, others are just getting onboard. Three of the biggest sellers of digital music are Amazon (amzn.to/ kpA5dr), iTunes (bit.ly/ iweH3I) and Wal-Mart (bit.ly/l5MySv). Wal-Mart has a good primer for newbies at bit.ly/jlsvog.

Here's a playlist idea. In the summer of 1966, six songs hit No. 1 in the New York market, according to musicradio77 .com: "Strangers in the Night" (Frank Sinatra), "Hanky Panky" (Tommy James & the Shondells), "Wild Thing" (Troggs), "Summer in the City" (Lovin' Spoonful), "See You in September" (Happenings) and "You Can't Hurry Love" (Supremes).

Prices vary between download services but are typically $0.94-$1.29 per song.
