when I was little, my mom always had the TV on during the day, even if nobody was watching...

I never got into watching daytime soaps... but I loved hearing the theme music playing in the background... 'specially this one...

was looking for other 50's soap's theme tunes to share with y'all when I came across this...

a 15-minute episode of "The Guiding Light"... complete with commercials...

(apparently, in the early days of television, soaps were aired in 15-minute episodes...)

it's like a middle-class American housewives' time capsule from back then...

eta: midway through the clip, didja happen to notice the ringer washing machine in the background of the detergent ad...?

lol... do you younger folks even know what I'm talking about when I mention ringer washing machines...?


btw... to give y'all some perspective, time-wise ... this episode aired about six weeks after Eisenhower's first inauguration...
