Your music countdown impressed upon me the impact of songs on youth. To this day I know the lyrics to most of your song selections in the ’60s (I was a child) and the ’70s (a teenager). I was familiar with some songs in the ’80s, but not so much in the ’90s and ’00s. [my husband] James wrote a song about an older guy who loves to “reminisce about those glory days before Elvis left the building, when Jerry Lee was still killing, Buddy Holly ruled the hit parade. Sam Records was rocking, Lord now you got me talking Rockabilly For The Middle-Aged.” If following your music countdown (two to go!) you’d be interested in a song inspired by the time warp that often shapes lifetime music preference, here’s Rockabilly for the Middle-Aged & the not so politically correct lyrics.
