My ringtone for when my wife calls is the beginning of Flying High. Stops right as they sing about "rainwater in my boots". It brings back memories of when I once hitchhiked on the LA freeways during rush hour. I always walked backwards figuring that even if I didn't get a ride I'd walk to where I was going. I was walking past cars at a standstill during rush hour. Some guy rolled down his window and told me he'd pick me up if I was still walking and traffic cleared.
He not only picked me up he gave me a place to crash for a month. The 60's were a great time.
Sitting here today listening to a good mix of music from YouTube. Oh my gosh, taking me back. Amazing how they can make me feel young again, wishing I was cruising down a road with the windows open, fresh air in my face, listening to Marvin, Sammy, Temptations, Al Green........ so many more. Of course I can't think of any more names to write...........
I remember when Marvin's "War... " came out and our country was stuck in Vietnam...... such an emotional time (for me). And I get that feeling every time I hear it.
Music is what keeps us young. That is why we are not the 60 and 70 that our parents were. I still turn it up when a certain song may come on the radio but I sure don't remember my dad doing the same.
My parents watched every Lawrence Welk program they showed on PBS. They also met him in person at his place in California and talked about that for years. I
There is nothing like the music of the late 1960s and early 1970s. Hearing a song from that period really takes me back. It was a golden era for music.

Oh my dad loved Welk and on one of my dad's trips to CA he had me take him to Welk's taping with audience and dancing from audience. My dad wanted me to dance with him but I felt embarrassed, what a fool I was...that dance would have made him so happy. It was at a ballroom in Hollywood I think. That was back in 60's, early 70's...
