By sheer luck I spent a “year off” in England in 1964/65 when a college loan didn’t come through. Lived on ca. $35/week, and hung around folk clubs. Met Simon and Garfunkel and Al Stewart, plus folk artists Ewan MacColl and Peggy Seeger, and Bert Jansch and John Renbourn of Pentangle.
Great songs! These songs came along when I was entering my teenage years. "Midnight Hour" was one of the staple songs we played in my high school band. Thanks for sharing the info on how you did your songs. I like using MIDI more than styles on my SX900.
WHAT a special year. Moved to Honolulu in September of 65 and entered my senior year of high school at Roosevelt! Lots of really special times during the year. Enlisted in the Navy the following year and eventually toured in country Vietnam. What a blessing to have been around in the 60's. Mentioning Agent Orange. Came down with hairy cell leukemia in 2014 (44 years after returning state side from Vietnam )- 2 bouts of chemo - presently in remission.
Firstly thanks for your videos. They are fun to watch. Your 9 years older than me but I remember all those things becausevI was the youngest of five children so I was exposed to alot at an early age. I was thirteen and I lived in nyc and they had that phone at 65 worlds fair in flushing and I remember trying it with my sister. They called it a pictaphone and they said we would all have one by 1970. I remember the blackout too I was in 8th grade.
My Tyros 5 keyboard has a harmony capability built into it. My mic plugs into my keyboard, and I select which type of harmony I want my voice to become.
I am also a Vietnam Veteran (1969-70) do you know how much I hate hearing “Thank you for your service”? It is said so much that it has become, to many veterans, an empty platitude; something you just say because it is politically correct. Some veterans bristle at this well intended phrase, the simple psychology behind it is this: we don’t feel like we did anything special. Instead try saying “I am sincerely grateful for your sacrifice” that would be closer to the truth.
So there it is folks. Boomers and to some extent Gen X had it easier financially to get ahead then Millennials and Gen Z. 1965 Average salary = 6,900 Mustang (a nice car) = $2400 2024 Average salary = approx. $62,000 A comparable car to the Mustang = $45,000 Basically… it used to cost 1/3rd of your yearly salary for that same car that now costs 3/4s of your current yearly salary.
I’m also an American Vietnam Vet. Thanks for your service. And thanks for the music. I graduated High School in 66
