    Our Grandkids favorites today

Remember back in the 50's and 60's when Rock and Roll was just coming on the scene?  Remember when Television Stations were instructed . . . "Do not show Elvis "below the waistline" while performing on Television" ??  

Pretty restrictive don't you think?  Rock and Roll was "Our Music" expressing our feelings back in our HS days!  Guess what, today we've become the same restrictive adults that our parents were back then.  RAP?  are you kidding me???  All Rap music is just Crap!!!   This stuff should be banned!!!

Following is the #1 hit in our Grandkids lives.  I picked the Lyrics version so you can see exactly what this Rapper is saying.  I love this song!

Today's picks are all good, clean, fun songs that I would be happy to play in any venue.  There are, however, some songs in our "Grandkids purview" today that are in really bad taste.  I trust Our Grandkids will know the difference.  

Till Next Week
