Allow me to claim proud membership in this club. Heck, I’m so reactionary that I’m more familiar with the icons of previous generations than with those of my own. I prefer the music of Glenn Miller and Bing Crosby (especially when he sang with The Rhythm Boys) to the music of my day.
My 12-year-old grandson was watching some program on TV this afternoon and when I asked him about it, he said it was about history and really interesting. What period of time? The 1980’s!
His mom and dad listen to old time radio and music though and he really likes the Green Hornet and the Shadow and knows all the Duke Ellington songs. Most kids though will never know anything about our history unless we share it with them.
