    My Dad used to play America and the eagles etc growing up. I always used to tease him because he couldn’t help but sing along to the classics. He always said the new generation of music had no taste and was degenerate. He was my coach, my hero, my best friend. He died of bone cancer two years ago. Now I listen to the eagles, America, Neil Young, etc everyday on my way to work and I can feel the spirit of my Dad listening there next to me.
    RIP Dad, I miss you

      Good for you! I really feel the 90's was nowhere close to my son's generation. Without hesitation I feel so blessed to be born in an age where music was at the center of our best times. I'm so glad you went to your dad. I also introduced my son to the 60s, 70s and even the 80s music! You only get a short time to love music, for me from 4 years old to this very day! Music is the gift that keeps on giving. The memories alone that music gave to our generation, wow! I hope you will continue to find your favorite beat and enjoy it. I thank God for growing up with so many songs those then and now that I won't ever forget. I hope I never have to lose my own beat as life moves on. I'm in my early 60s and I just cannot give up listening to them songs repeatedly over my years. America is just one band with many of our greatest hits. Kenny Loggins and the Doobie Brothers, along with The Beatles are all great. R&B, soul and classic rock cannot be beat. Enjoy!!!

    Sometimes late
    When things are real
    And people share the gift of gab
    Between themselves
    Some are quick
    To take the bait
    And catch the perfect prize
    That waits among the shelves
    But Oz never did give nothing to the Tin Man
    That he didn't, didn't already have
    And 'cause never was the reason for the evening
    Or the tropic of Sir Galahad
    So please believe in me
