As a Baby Boomer (the oldest would be 79, the youngest would be 61), I feel very fortunate to have grown up listening to what I think is the best music ever! From Classic Rock to beautiful ballads. Sadly, so many musicians of my era have already passed on. I don’t ever recall hearing any of the music that I listened to talk about hate and destruction. I don’t know where all the hate is coming from in our country but it needs to stop. Turn off social media and the news for a week and see how much better you feel. I’m sharing a few love songs from my era for you to enjoy. Some are very passionate, some are happy, some are sad, some are about letting love slip away, being alone, and some are about losing a loved one but never saying goodbye. Our souls are affected by everything around us, the good and the bad. Choose good, empathy, compassion, and love! Let the music heal your soul. Your soul is depending on it!

Alfred Lord Tennyson:
”Tis better to have loved and lost than never to have loved at all.”

I had forgotten how much I enjoyed The Raspberries as a teenager. I still enjoy listening to their music. They have never gotten the credit they deserve and now Eric Carmen is gone. It’s just sad!
