    Ah, 1966 was a memorial year. I was asked to take a girl to her junior prom as she took a chance I'd be home on a day off from my AF assignment. I had been heavily involved with her older sister for years but the military separation ended that. I had a 63 Ford with a high performance dual qual with big cam and we dated for several weeks until my motor blew. I bought a 66 Mustang and from then on it was every time I had my days off. We dated heavily that summer and then got engaged in August even though she was only 17 and I was 22. We married on December 15 at a little Methodist church that was decorated with pine and red ribbons with only family and close friends there. She was a senior then but we went to West TX and she finished high school. Still together after all these 57 years and have been around the world thanks to the USAF and now just living out whatever time we have on this Earth.

What a blessing as had friends who didn't make it home alive & many that did weren't the same. Sadly by then, the '60s music grew up with was much different by 1972. Still DJ'd many years after learning to love country music as well. Wish I'd been born 10 years earlier, but God had His plan. Now 72 & blessed with good health overall.

      It wasn't long in coming, though...the protests started in 1966 at the draft board building in lower Manhattan, if I'm not mistaken. It may have been 1967, though. What I know for sure is that the draftees were assembled at the building on Thursday mornings and buses came to bring them to boot camp. The looks on their faces when they saw the angry mobs of hippies was heartbreaking...and that was nothing compared to what they would face if they were unlucky enough to be sent to Nam.

      We all live and we all die; it's merely a question of how and when, Kathleen. And if we are lucky, we live out our normal lifespan. It's very sad when people die when young and don't get to live out their lifespan, and that is difficult to deal with. There is always someone we like or love that is older than we are, so we may have to go through losing friends or loved ones a number of times during our own life. We grieve, and time passes, we feel better, but we NEVER forget them! And that's how it should be.

I still have a memory of being in my backyard and hearing Guantanamera by the Sandpipers coming from a house caddy corner to ours. I remember hearing Strangers in the Night. My folks were big Sinatra fans. There was no fence between our backyard and the neighbors behind us. The dad raced sprint cars. Robby, the kid next door showed me his Spiderman comics.....our Dad was opposed to comic books.....and that's when I discovered the new Black Panther superhero. I remember a dude in the neighborhood had a Barracuda he liked to leave in the driveway. Too often I want to go back to the 60s.

    I was 7 then, a nerdy, awkward kid. But I remember this year and the music...and loved it!!! This was, what I believe, THE last great year of American nostalgia. The last year of common black-and-white television, transitioning to color that very year. The first visible year of the "hippie" movement. School integrated here the year before, so race riots and war protests seemed so distant to me. Distant also were Vietnam and the civil rights marches. I was in my own world. The next year reality set in, as my uncle went to Vietnam, and life seemed to be a major awakening. It was still good though, my uncle came back from Nam, and life continued for me, but not quite like that one did.

The family had a public viewing in the old high school gym, where people lined up in a single file procession past the open coffin.

But all were WAY TOO YOUNG TO DIE, but they did anyway, causing unmeasurable sadness for their family and friends. But they are NOT forgotten and what they did was the most honorable thing ever, laying down your life for the Country you love, respect and have sacrificed your life for -- nothing is more noble!
      I visited the Viet Nam War Memorial Wall, and I saw people stenciling over their loved one's name on the wall, some laughing, some weeping, but it was mostly a very solemn bunch and it touched me deeply, knowing all those people died! It was very profound and I'll never forget it!

And yes, I love big band jazz too, and classical. No country or rap-crap -- it's like surrealist poetry with noisy background rhythm, not what anyone could call "music."
      As for "old," my body is, but I'm not. I've been disabled for 31 years, but I am still young at heart and have a baby-face youthfulness still. Groucho Marx once said, "You're only as old as the woman you feel." Sounds good to me!

    Love all these songs, of course many more from this time that aren't on here. Born in 59, but had a few older brothers who would torture me every Saturday morning, they'd play one of these songs and wake me up without fail. Favourite was Eric Burton and House of the Rising Sun. Not exactly the best to wake up to, but these songs were all great. Different time period, nowadays everybody wants to make a statement, just make good music, forget the "political statements."
