In 1970 my wife and I took the Greyhound Golden Eagle from NY to LA.
There was a hostess and unlimited food and drink (no liquor) .We stopped in 16 states,43 cities for refueling and exercise between 2 and 6 hours each stop .We met some very interesting people on the bus including an officer of the law and his prisoner.
Going back to music .Earlier this evening I was watching a Frankie Valli concert from last year.He is still performing at a soon to be 89 years old.Tony Bennett still active at soon to be 97.
Ringo Starr will be 84 in July and Mick Jagger will be 89 in July.
I wonder if this is the new norm ?
Neil Diamond and Barbra Streisand initially attended the same Brooklyn High School.They were both in the same choral group.Neils parents moved and he transferred to a different HS and graduated with my wife’s sister.She was not a singer.Famous alum of that school include Neil Sedaka The Tokens and Lou Gossset,Jr.
In the 80’s I won tickets to see the Turtles but I was not able to go.I could not find anyone who wanted to go so now they are a souvenir.When I won tickets to Live Aid and could not go I gave them to the son of a co-worker.
My first official concert was to see Bob Dylan.I took my older daughter to her first concert which was the No Hit Wonder Once Again.Her second was to see Simon and Garfunkel.Her third was to see Diana Ross.
