On Green Grass

[moniss]

27. I'm there with you

and I am heartened by the fact that, just when I think nobody cares what I think, someone younger will in fact ask me for information about how it was. I'm sort of there with you on the music but I think the jazz was better in the late '40's, in the '50's for sure and up into the early '60's. The folk music also. I do like young people who ask me about the Beatniks, Hippies, early hi-fi, real honest to goodness nightclubs and supper-clubs. I like explaining that those clubs are not the same thing. They are usually surprised that the real history of things is different than the image given to them on TV and in movies. Most of those clubs are gone now. Like those who made them a big deal and those of us who sat at the tables in the glow of little lamps and candles, then danced and took a walk in the moonlight. No smartphone necessary.
