      I'm a little older than the newest generation (I'm 27), but I have an enormous appreciation for music like this. At 11 years old, I was glued to my local "oldies" radio station-- Kool 105 in Denver. The beautiful harmony of groups like Simon & Garfunkel, Brothers Four and others were fundamental pieces to my musical experience. Trust me, I'm not the only member of the "new generation" that deeply loves music like this.

      The good thing is that, some young people are starting to reject the soul damaging, satanic garbage imposed on them nowadays, and are listening to this kind of real music instead. I find that very encouraging. Play this to your youngsters and see what their reaction is.

    Smartly dressed young gentlemen. Masculine, kind, respectable gentle men. The line “ ‘Twas so good to be young then” makes me grateful I was indeed young back then when this was the quality of music you heard on the radio every day.

    Seriously takes me back.. This era we're in now really doesn't cut it, as far as I'm concerned. About the only thing I can say favorable for this cyber-internet era is the added plethora, ease of access, of reading material.. So picked up a new favorite quote this AM (online).. -Kierkegaard: "People demand freedom of speech as a compensation for the freedom of thought which they seldom use." Yea.. .Like we just totally wear out our freedom of speech, right?! It's speech freedom so long as it's speech conformity.

    Oh, island in the sun
    Willed to me by my father's hand
    All my days I will sing in praise
    Of your forest, waters, your shining sand
    As morning breaks the heaven on high
    I lift my heavy load to the sky
    Sun comes down with a burning glow
    Mingles my sweat with the earth below
    Oh, island in the sun
    Willed to me by my father's hand
    All my days I will sing in praise
    Of your forest, waters, your shining sand
    I see woman on bended knee
    Cutting cane for her family
    I see man at the waterside
    Casting nets at the surging tide
    Oh, island in the sun
    Willed to me by my father's hand
    All my days I will sing in praise
    Of your forest, waters, your shining sand
    I hope the day will never come
    When I can't awake to the sound of drum
    Never let me miss carnival
    With calypso songs philosophical
    Oh, island in the sun
    Willed to me by my father's hand
    All my days I will sing in praise
    Of your forest, waters, your shining sand
    Ooh
    Ooh
    Ooh
    Ooh

    Before and during the Beatles era, these guys and Ricky Nelson taught me how to song and appreciate different types of music as a .kittle boy, merely by their recordings and Tv appearances. They once appeared on Ozie and Harriet show...if I hear them on a oldies channel or whatever singing a song I never heard them sing....I immediately know it;s them. Unmistakable sound and blend of voices. Remarkable harmonies and intonation. Total class, and they didn't have to carry weapons to prove a damn thing.

    Há um tempo para se cortejar a sua garota,

    E de se ficar junto à esposa no momento do parto, woo

    Há um tempo para se viver num lugar para se despedir,
    Época em que era tão bom ser jovem,
    E em estar bem perto da terra,
    Agora, as folhas verdes do verão estão me chamando para casa,
