Thank you for this thread;)
I had been inclined to write a similar theme. My family had asked me to write down my childhood memories for the grandchildren - but it was becoming so depressing to realize how much ‘wonder’ has been removed from today’s and future generations.
I came to the US from England - married Irish and raised my super hybrid kids....all great Americans.
Now - despairing of politics, daily crises I also limit TV, rightwing radio and even FR....too wrenching.
There isn’t any decent music to soothe the savage stress of daily living. Sinatra, Bennett, Elvis, Willie Nelson, et al - could at least provide a temporary escape.
God help us.
Music:
Every Friday and Saturday you may want to find the Freeper Canteen music threads. They play a wide range of music. Here is this week’s thread:
