73 years old and it seems, the leader in the clubhouse so far.
The Fifties and Sixties: Transistor radio: the Four Seasons, the Shirells, Dion and the Belmonts, etc.
Later, the Beatles, Stones, Traffic, etc.
Then college at the University of Florida and a friend said to take a music history course. Professor Marie Henderson, bless her soul, taught me there were things to listen to in music that transcended the ordinary. During the student strike protesting the invasion of Cambodia, hers was among the very few classes that were fully attended. She played a Bach cello piece in honor of her son, serving on Da Nang province. I owe her everything.
Classical music since then. And no looking back. God bless you, Professor Henderson. Many years later, thank goodness, I was able to tell her how much she ment to me.
