The 50ts, Elvis Peter Paul and Mary, James brown and his
famous flames, and of course, the rock and roll love
songs, real love songs, not the garbage that came from the
60ts on through today, everything was better then, movies
music, it was a renassance period, the original of everything.
men were cool cause while they could be tough they weren't
looked down on for being sensitive, women were more real
also, they knew how to be feminine they werne't afraid of it or
to be complimented, guys and gals danced together close yet
respefectully, romance was the order of the day, not hate or
discrimination, coffee houses where you could go to hear
real traditional folk music, and jazz music, read poetry or
write it, or paint a man or womans portrait and not be put
down for it, yeh the fabluous 50ts' the newport jazz and folk
festival, i was a teen but old enough to play in a band in the
local after hour joints, it was a time of innocence and straight
fowardness, didn't need political correctness, people were
raised right every body was accepted all colors and cultures
and religions and nationalities and gender preference, that's
why i gotta laugh at how phoney everything is today, i was
playing in black clubs or as they were known back then as
soul clubs, my black brothers blacktised me and taught me
the in's and out's of the blues music and jazz music, scene,
yong people today think it's all new, lol. well it ain't and it was
much better back then every body was closer nit, the 50'ts
was a the real melting pot i play gay clubs asian filipino clubs
hispanic clubs had a friend who mentored me in flemenco
guitar . . .
Yeh i would go back to that era , and freeze that era 4 ever . . .
