Hi Bill, after looking at that list of artists,it was the Golden Years of Music. What happened to the current music we have today? Tom.

Thanks, BP! That is a very nice compiment!

I agree, Tom. I believe that 1968 was tied for the best year of the 1960s (with 1962) as the music we had then was so incredibly creative, diversified, sophisticated and meaningful...not to mention the year itself; the culture that went hand-in-hand with the music.

I've had that graphic for years...Thanks, Mort! Finally got a chance to use it for something! Reminds me of the Head Shops and Black Light Rooms we used to go through back then. What a year that was...

Looking forward to a great show tonight! See you folks there! JB
