All so young in the mind's eye...

So very true. Here are a few of my faves from that era. How many do you know?

What was the update to the story? I couldn’t tell that it was different than the same link I posted in the main comment to this post. Maybe I’m not seeing it correctly. Thanks.

We are losing the great musicians that we all grew up with. Almost all of the stuff written today is crap.

I immediately recognize all but a couple of them, and those I would know with a nudge. Thanks!

Very good. Others...Eric Clapton, Tom Rush, John Mayall, Sly Stone, Judy Collins, Linda Ronstadt.

I probably wouldn’t have gotten all of them based on photos, but we would all get them with the first few bars of a song!

He did the version of You’ll Never Walk Alone that Liverpool FC adopted as their theme song. One of the most things in all of sports is hearing the crowd at Anfield sing it before every match.

I was just thinking, I could have posted something like that, but you wouldn’t have recognized any of them. But then we got to the bottom - your bottom was my top.

And another one from my younger “daze” has left us. I remember playing their 45’s ‘Ferry Cross The Mersey’, and ‘Don’t Let The Sun Catch You Crying’, when my brother bought back then. Hauntingly beautiful songs. The sound of the Mersey beat. Where did all the years go? We were all so young then, and thought we’d live forever. RIP Gerry.

Gerry Marsden. Dawn Wells. Charlie Pride. Man, my Sixties memories are going fast....

We also lost Vera Lynn, who passed away in June, 2020 at 103.

Well, that sucks. They were great.

They say that all good things must end some day
Autumn leaves must fall
But, don’t you know that it hurts me so
To say goodbye to you?
Wish you didn’t have to go
No, no, no, no

Thank you, MB. I figured there was a reason. My html coding mistake.
