RE: the conclusion of music

...I have always loved popular music and hearing those songs again evoke memories of my life.

As a kid in the mid-1950s I hung out at a big park swimming pool with a jukebox - Chuck Willis' "C. C. Rider, the Olympics' "Western Movies", the Coasters' "Searchin", and the Silhouettes "Get a Job".

In 1959 in the 5th grade a few of us hung around in the classroom at lunch and listened to 45rpm records - Larry Williams "Short, Fat, Fanny", Danny and the Juniors' "At the Hop".

On my mother's AM radio I heard Elvis and Chuck Berry.

One of the first records I bought was Link Wray's "Rumble".

I recall the day the plane crashed killing Ritchie Valens, Buddy Holly and the Big Bopper - what a tragedy.

In high school in the mid-1960s I was listening to the Beatles, Beach Boys and Dick Dale.

Then in college from 1967 to 1972 I witnessed the birth of classic rock and saw lots of live music - Jimi, the Who, Stones, Janis, Steve Miller, etc.

I still listen to all of that and much more today.
