I was 12 in 1962 also!!!! But when your Dad is the local Southern Baptist preacher in a small town you live in a bubble. So some of those songs I knew of but didn't hear much. We had a piano and a black and white TV and the piano was played the most! I shared a bedroom with my 2 younger brothers until I was to old and they put a day bed in the dining room! I remember the old wash tub, it went from washing the clothes to us using it as a swimming pool then finally watering the garden. Recycling wasn't just thought up!!!!! Oh my, when was Dark Shadows? Our parent absolutely forbade us to watch that!!!! Those were the good ol' days though. Yes, you had to wait for your neighbors to get off the telephone but if you listened quietly enough you could have something to talk about the next day in school. We were allowed to wear hose to school one a week, unless of course you put them in your purse and put them on in school.
