Actually Peter, I think it is the dream of almost any intelligent and creative person to wish to have been around at some other time. Earlier on at the top of this thread I said that I would love to have lived in 50 other times and places.........and I know you probably would feel the same. But you are certainly correct in saying that we are apt to forget the worst and remember the best, and I definitely agree with you on the sixties. I'm happy to be who I am and where I am and the fact that my life choices have brought me to this point overjoys me. But the problem is, of course, that life doesn't always allow us to pursue every direction we want to take and it is that knowledge which saddens me at times. And obviously I cannot live in those other times as Rick or I may wish, gut THAT is the true fun in listening to Sandy, Frank, Art, and others who were there. A little depressing perhaps, but any depression is greatly overshadowed by the vicarious thrill I get in hearing the tales. But like I also said, this ain't too bad a time either.

Spaw--who doesn't mean to imply that he's either creative or intelligent, just human.
