I absoultley loved Steppenwolfe's "Magic Carpet Ride", the kids took it (CD) away from me because it didn't seeminly fit my image of an grandparent I guess.... I was going to college when it was the rave "hit" of the day. They think of my younger years as I guess the "Everly Brothers" when I was maybe 6 years old I guess you know. The Beattles came along in my early High School Days.by the time I was out of High School we were getting in to Mick Jagar Days a coming. I liked Neil Diamond an lot also back then...listening/sing along music.Then for an while I was incarnated into WEstern Music by others, and when my son was an tenagers, I was allowed to hear the more modern music again...Pink Floyd. then kind of went back and forth and my hearing has stopped me now on an lot of this stuff.  I heard an doctor one time tell someone that the kindest thing they do to their bodies is forget the booze ..and go to the dancing.

Paul,.... I can't think of anyone doesn't remember the Doobie Brothers.


Yes, they made their mark didn't they, Shirley.  Bur for odd names-----they were so-called because 1) none of them were named Doobie and 2) none of them were brothers, so it was a logical choice !

Right second time Ruth---and they're south of us in Andover and still going strong. The band were originally called The Troglodytes.

Yes, I love their music also!

 I don't get the point of the name. What is the meaning?

Coo-seems to be a big fanbase for The Troggs-they were (are) a great band! Babs J, we have some CDs of a few of the bands you mention.  I am worried that for two 'old codgers' we have very strange musical tastes!!Sealed
