We have Sirius XM in our cars and we listen to the 50s and 60s among others. I have to mention Jefferson Airplane and Grace Slick "Somebody to Love" since I am from San Francisco. Also The Ronettes "Be My Baby",The Shirelles "Will You Still Love Me Tomorrow?" Ben E. King, "Stand By Me",The Drifters "This Magic Moment",The Grass Roots " Live for Today", The Supremes "Baby Love" and there are many more from the the 50s and 60s. " Age of Aquarius/Let the Sunshine In" 5th Dimension reminds me of the stage production of "Hair" which I saw in SF that was quite avant guard at that time with nudity on stage and all about peace and love. Which was a big theme in the 60s.Deborah Druckerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05649396302648104610noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-626594980028435818.post-70955932031443897662014-07-31T09:58:22.458-04:002014-07-31T09:58:22.458-04:00Sirius XM has a channel dedicate to 60s music (as ...Sirius XM has a channel dedicate to 60s music (as well as one for each decade from the 40s on).Kirknoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-626594980028435818.post-90503804667159667132014-07-30T19:33:10.283-04:002014-07-30T19:33:10.283-04:00I remember going to see Joan Baez in the '70s ...I remember going to see Joan Baez in the '70s (?) and heard her play "The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down."

I have an old AM radio in my office permanently tuned to it. Unfortunately, the signal seems to travel only about 10 miles with any semblance of clarity, so you and your readers will have to visit us to enjoy those great tunes.

I listened to those tunes' the 60's while volunteering at the USA in san diego and when I got married the songs of john Denver were going strong in Colorado who deemed him their adopted son. Sweet tunes for sure, I cannot phanthom the younger set today, I picked berries to Sonny & Cher and the Beach Boys, songs that in my opinion seemed corny but great rythem and corny words, who cared we were slaving away in the berry fields and bean fields, then off to san diego to work like hell to go to college and the tunes sustained us after 2 shifts at a restaurant and babysitting kids and working like hell..Will never be another 60's I lived it and it ain't coming back. ciao!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-626594980028435818.post-52937403454417145772014-07-30T11:37:29.137-04:002014-07-30T11:37:29.137-04:00Sometimes the oldies remind you of boyfriend or wa...Sometimes the oldies remind you of boyfriend or wannabe bf. my friend Herry hates the song of the same name.

When I was growing up, my parents listened to lots of music on their Hi-Fi. I learned about the Ink Spots (I loved them) and the light music of Gershwin, among others<br /><br />BTW, the reason skydivers wear helmets is to keep their brains in one place if they "frap" in. The soft helmets, therefore, are called "frap hats." I laughed at your comment on my blog.

David is busy watching TV and I read the computer, so our home is quiet. This is why I find it such a treat to go to symphony concerts.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
