When I was just a little boy back in the late 60's my folks listened to lotsa "cool" music. I particularly loved this song! I remember the album cover was red and showed a close-up of a huge, colorful, sweet-looking all-day sucker! Click and give it a listen (I hope this works!) Do any of you recall this song at all by Millie Small? It's a very obscure tune and sure brings back memories for me- makes me smile HUGE! :)

"My Boy Lollipop" is a wonderful tune, so upbeat and happy!!!! I love all such songs from the 60's and 70's, do you remember "Sugar" by the Archie's I loved that tune, and I loved all the Herman's Hermit hits "Henry the 8th" and all their happy tunes! Music from the era was splendid! I was never a fan of heavy or Acid Rock and that whole "Jimi Handrix" type music. It was not enjoyable to me as it was to some. I only in the last 10 yrs or so came to appreciate "Janis Joplin" and enjoy her talent!

I know what'cha mean, Cath. I've never been a fan of loud guitars or acid rock and the like. I enjoy a hugely diverse mix though, from some country to folk, R&B, vintage jazz, Latin/world sounds, etc.

Mostly I just like VOICES. To me, if the voice is appealingly pleasant- or even unique- I love it! For instancem today I've listend to Dolly/Reba/Patsy Cline to Tracy Chapman and Sarah Vaughn, to David Archuletta, Anita Baker, Oleta Adams, Peter/Paul/Mary, Cher, and Daughtry.

Hee! Hee!....and I was leaving Vietnam after almost 3 tours of duty, changed from a boy to a man in the process.

I love all the early 60's music and unfortunately got the nickname "The Beatle" because I resembled Paul and the girl's at the USO said "if we can't get the real thing....." and they chased me, etc.

One of my favorites is "Running Bear" (actually 1959):

CanMan those indeed were the days of the very best tunes!!! I shall never forget those songs, and even my children love them! My oldest is 33 today :)

Hey CanMan I saw a town named Canmore in a book I was reading and it made me think of you! I was thinking if you ever get a dog you could name him Canmore!!!
