[TheForge] Re: music

[Alix Peshette]

Hi St. Phlip and All,
I have to second the notion that the demographics might be a little
different than at first glance.  I'm a woman, 53 and graduated in 1970.
While most of my contemporary music choices come from NPR (lots of
blues, world beat and esoterica) it's the 'Summer of Love" music that
trips my soul!

You're right, Phlip. I guess I forgot the time expansion phenomenon...we
all seem to keep a soft spot for the music we came of age to, but a lot
of that is the same for me, having graduated in 85 to ac/dc, zeppelin,
janice joplin, and so on, as it is for folks 10-15 years older. The
great just stay great. 

Your age range is about what I expected. Blacksmithing seems to require
maturity. I'm catching up.
