More appropriate now than then

@Punches I was 25 and getting married in 1979. But I had the same fears you mentioned between the ages of 5 and 15. Up until 3rd grade I experienced the Air raid sirens and hiding under the desk or going into the school basement storage room. Two different schools. I had an incredible fear of nukes. It was the era of the Cuban missile crisis which I didn't understand until years later reading how close Kennedy came to pushing the button with Russian missiles in Florida's backyard. But I played drums in a band during my last two years and the summer out of Highschool. My music era truly listening was from the mid 60s to the mid 80s. My favorite music is still the psychedelic era. That was truly special because you could identify the band of a song you never heard before the lyrics started because each was that unique. My first radio was a pocket crystal radio, no batteries required just a single ear speaker. I got into studying and building my own stereo speakers and miss the sound of the audio systems we had then. It's needless to say I believe I grew up with the best rock oriented music that ever existed. Those historical long songs from Light my Fire to Inna-gadda-da-vida and Rare Earths version of Get ready are forever ingrained in my mind from playing them on a stage. One of us went into the Navy and came out and went into Jazz named Steve Abshire who is well known in the DC area and has played with some big names in the jazz world.
