i really feel ancient after that

Music created as such, simply does not exist anymore........we progress and change with the times and there are some new bands that have emerged with a great deal of substance and impact in the art of music, but not on the scale of the past. I also can't believe how many left handed drummers I have seen from the 60's & 70's, and even playing the snare in that jazz style....

Kids then did not spend their time on computers, nor watching tv they played their guitars and drums we used to practice for hours everyday in the 60's never got tired of it we did not know anything else also no cell phones, and no instant world we learned off of 45's and or 33 LP's or we made it up.... those days are gone and with them much of our inventiveness is gone as well, with few exceptions music is in a sad state of mediocrity...

I couldn't agree more, Mike! This was the era in which I grew up. I was never really a bad kid. Mayby a bit stupid but, never destructive or harmful. I, like my friends, spent most of the time practising learning songs. The Y.M.C.A. actually hired us! Man, that was so cool for a fourteen year old! Rather than stealing hubcaps, we stayed out of trouble by thinking that we were the next Beatles! I don't get the modern slant. Loops? Drum machines? Whatever they do. I used to play it from the heart. Still do, Mike! I guess I'm lucky. I was there.

Thanks, Mike! This stuff is great! This is just an aside but, a lady with whom my spouse works told my lady that when she was seventeen, she hitch-hiked to Woodstock. I wanted to ask her about all the great music and when I finally got the chance, she basically replied, " Umm, I really don't remember much at all. I know it was raining though." Oh yeah, Mike, SHE WAS THERE!

I lived in Va beach Va at the time of Woodstock and had planned to go we got tickets for like 6 bucks i think they were but i decided not to go and stayed in town to see the Allman Brothers band instead cheaper closer to home ,in hindsight i am glad i did not go what a mess but then what history..... but I did get to see canned heat like a month or two latter in Richmond Va awesome concert..... and these guys how much fun can you have playin?

Morning, Mike!

I was attending Art College at the time in Toronto. My apartment cost $8.00 a week and I ate a lot of popcorn and water (fills up your stomach for pennies). I simply couldn't afford to get down. Damn! I don't think anyone realized the enormity of the event.
