Maybe it was mostly a stone year. <br /><br />This post was all over the map with things I've heard of and some that I don't remember or just happened to miss.<br /><br />One thing though, I was never very keen on Pete Seeger. I know he's like a folk icon, but I just a lot of his stuff was kind of trite and boring. Never paid too much attention to him. <br /><br />Lee <br />An A to Z Co-Host <br /><a href="http://tossingitout.blogspot.com/" rel="nofollow">Tossing It Out</a><br />Arlee Birdhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11663942782929929334noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5822869016413307981.post-25204754274985789882014-01-31T13:39:34.096-05:002014-01-31T13:39:34.096-05:00S'okay, Robin, half the comments I get on time...S'okay, Robin, half the comments I get on time machine are from people saying, "I was only (fill in the blank) at the time." And yes, for me that time period was 6th-7th-8th grade. After that, I was too angst-ridden.CWMartinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06798867734074134647noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5822869016413307981.post-72064885923683175332014-01-31T10:40:51.872-05:002014-01-31T10:40:51.872-05:00I know that some folks really appreciate the music...I know that some folks really appreciate the music of 1972, but I've never heard of most of it. If this was 1982 I would probably recognize all of it. That just goes to show that we are never more attuned to what is happening on the Charts than when we are in junior high and high school!<br /><br />BTW. this is NOT me saying that you should change these posts, just that I don't have a great comment for you because I was just a toddler at the time!Robinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14932408372240147454noreply@blogger.com
