Hello Fellow Boomers and Friends. Welcome to August of 2009. I have been traveling and just getting settled for the last month of summer. So much to write about on both Boomer memories and the political landscape!
My wife and I saw and heard in concert Crosby, Stills and Nash, the Rock and Rolls sages of our Generation. If you were born in the first stage of the Baby Boomers (1946 - 1956), you remember well their creative contribution to music, with former bands. The Hollies, Buffalo Springfield and The Byrd's and all of their solo and collective bands after that. Even when we are in our Nineties, the songs will still be great to hear!
One of my favorite songs of the Group, was written by Nash when he was with the Hollies. "Teach Your Children" which is THE anthem song of the Baby Boomers. What I like about the song is the message. Each generation passes on it's history of pains and challenges. The continuity of living from one generation to the next! Let me know your thoughts and memories of the song means to you!
