    I'm 80 years old, and this mix takes me back to the days in the '70s when I played bass in a cover band at local dives and clubs. We'd rock this tune for 15 minutes or more and everyone loved it. Right now i'm teary-eyed, remembering those happy times. This song will live forever.

      Dear @professor767. I hope that you are still doing well and staying SAFE! I personally say THANK YOU for your contributions to the music industry. The "COVER BANDS" of the 70's and early 80's is what kept this country going! It's too bad that these bands never got the RECOGNITION THAT THEY DEFINITELY DESERVED! BUT, I THANK YOU VERY MUCH!!

    Im 61 now.. born 1963.. our generation was raised on the GREATEST music of ALL time..
    Muscle cars!! Beautiful girls & Rock N Roll!!
    Nothing like getting in my classic 1970 Chevrolet Impala on a Saturday evening.. going for a cruise & listening to the MUSIC!! oh it takes me back to a time of when i met my Beautiful wife of 42 yrs! .. she was 16.. I was 17 in the Spring of 1981.. I had a 1967 Chevelle SS then.. Pioneer stereo w/ Pioneer 6x9 speakers..
    She & I would CRANK these tunes up & thought we were just on top of the world!
    Spring 2020 we found out she had Stage Two Breast Cancer.. 21 months later she was declared Cancer free!!
    So young folks.. LISTEN TO THE MUSIC!!!

      I'm 64 and can relate. I used to drive to my local amusement park in the late 70's. Blasting my music all the way. It was music, girls, beer and more beer. 🤣 Those were the best days of my life. The music was great and the girls were even better. Did I mention all the beautiful girls 🤣🤣. They loved my car, my tunes and me 🎼🎸🎙️❤️

      Isn’t it amazing that a “simple” creation from the soul as a song can bring such love and beauty into this world. Instead of making weapons of war, greed, fear , etc… we could create love and compassion for a world without judgement or prejudice. I mean how many lives were saved from let’s say suicide or even just a bad day by this one single song. Awaken people and live and spread the vibration this song is resonating

Write a song in one century, make some money and then find your singing it eighteen years into the next century with musicians from the world over. Meanwhile a 57 year old in Philly has his favorite albums hanging on the wall. Including the first one he bought with his own money. This song is on it. Way Cool moments all the way around.
