I'm glad you decided to share another episode in your life story! Even though this happened some years ago, maybe it was still hard to write. Good thing you were in the medical field and knew what to do in the aftermath of the procedure. I look forward to the next episode!
As an aside, I think the 60s were an interesting decade for music, and I wonder what you were listening to at the time. There were lots of bands in and around LA, like The Doors, Beach Boys, Steppenwolf, Standells, Seeds, Mamas and the Papas, etc. Probably a cool time and place to be!
Those you mentioned--not Steppenwolf,Standells, Seeds but listened to Simon & Garfunkel and probably ones I've forgotten or didn't make it out of LA. About 5 yrs ago i became a HUGE fan of Queen....I ran across their 1985 Wembley Stadium 1985 performance on YouTube and I was hooked. Somewhat odd for a 75 yr old, don't you agree?
You're a very cool 75 year old, so not odd at all!
It's interesting how Simon and Garfunkel released Sounds Of Silence as an acoustic song on their 1963 album which didn't do well, and then their label added electric overdubs and released it as a single in 1965 and it went to #1. I think The Beatles changed people's tastes in those 2 years!
Queen was another versatile band. They had some really heavy tunes in their early years but also some pop and Rockabilly. I'll have to look up their performance that you mentioned, thanks!
My conversion to Queen was 5 yrs ago. I'm now 80!!!
From reading your stories I see that you've been cool at every age and stage of your life! :-)
Thanks for your reply.
