We all revel in the past.  We're pretty sure our HS years were the last "Golden Years"! Weren't we lucky to be living then . . . going to HS during the emergence of Elvis Presley, Buddy Holly, Ricky Nelson, and all those really great performers???  Too bad our grandchildren have to put up with the CRAPPY music they are exposed to today!

Really?  Really?  Well I beg to disagree! (with myself).  Sure we had the talent during those years!  The guys in the 50's and 60's were "One of a kind".  But let's face it.  At this point in our lives were are not "tuned in"to the NEW music.  So I'm tuning in for us . . .  and let me say there is some really great stuff out there.  I'm sure, were we in HS today, we would be just as excited listening to "The Vamps" as we were listening to Fats Domino or Bobby Vinton.  It's just that we have our memories invested in the music of our youth.  

To appreciate todays music you must try to imagine that you are 16 and trying to be part of the "scene"!  This is FUN music and the artists are really talented.  So let's give it a try with "The Vamps" - "Somebody to you".
Remember when we looked like that?  Pretty simple goals, just wanting to belong, and fit in.  Don't you think?  

Here's another really good selection.  Avicii "Wake me Up".  Let's face it we all would like to escape realityat one point or another.  Who thought it would apply to today's youngsters
Taylor Swift - "Shake it Off" . . .  I think another appropriate title might be "Let's get Silly"! This young lady is really talented.  If you want to see something really cool (50's term - Still used by the way) watch the dancers in the background!  Thought we had moves in the 50's?  I think we could learn something here. 

Warning (don't try twisting your neck like that guy does in the presentation.  You might need a chiropractor's assistance to "untwist".  Could take days to fix. Expensive too . . .  medicare won't cover it!  "At least not so far"" :) 
Did I say that our youth today could be sweet and sexy too?  Well they can!  Here's a selection that shows just that.  Ed Sheeran "Thinking out Loud" is an excellent example of how smooth today's popular stuff really can be.  
The 50's . . . still tops in my book!  Be assured that our kids today will be saying the same thing about the music of their HS years . . . One half century from now!

Till Next Week
