Hey Shov! Read another post where you said you make your own music. So do I. Guitar, mandolin, banjo, auto harp, harmonica & all kinds of flutes. Started playing at age 4. Dad played & made beautiful instruments. He played with Bill & Charlie Monroe before I was born. We have a lot in common, would be great to be neighbors!
---- Maybe my background is why I felt the music back then in a physical & spiritual way. Went way beyond just hearing & liking. It was a head trip. I wonder if the kids of today can get that kind of feeling from their music? Maybe its just me, but I don't see how anybody can FEEL anything from todays music. Seems like a lot of agitation & rage to me.
---- What I was really looking for in this thread was how the music from the 60's through early (very early) 80's made you guys feel, your favorite songs that actually gave you a mental/spiritual high, or gave you sence of a higher awareness. Things were so different back then. Morals & ethics of the whole world were being questioned, change was happening & all this was expressed in our music. Maybe these things made most of us more attuned to everything, & possibly why I felt the way I did about music. So come on guys. Give me the feed back I'm fishing for! (Maybe I'm just trying to recapture my youth here!)
catbuds Reviewed by catbuds on . Counterculture music from the ole' hippie days! Hey guys! Since I finally found a group of people in my own age group with the same intrests, I've been thinking. What is it we miss the most? OUR MUSIC!!!! It was REAL & it had meaning man. Not like this rapp crap that's about shootin' & fuckin' everybody (oops! Can I say that?). Ok, clean it up Cat, lets not get carried away! But back in the day, I actually got a buzz from the music. There's a lot I miss about those days. I think I even miss hearing my mom yell up the steps, 'what's that I Rating: 5
