I am 35 but c'mon M.Ted the music makes and keeps us young. When you hear it doesn't it take you back to your teens and twenties? There was a rock song in the 1980's that had a line "as long as I have Rock-n-Roll I'm forever young." I feel that way now. When I hear Doc Watson for instance I dont hear an old man hitting a guitar. I hear a man in his prime eternally young. Music makes celebrate life and people. The good and bad times are all rolled into one and released releasing us from the binds of age, location, world events, life events, whatever. That is why it is so special. On here you have people of all ages and backgrounds talking about something we all love. The common denominator is not just songs it is being human. That is what roots music is all about I feel. Age, Ethnicity, national origin, all the labels put on a person by society means nothing. This is truly what it is about a love for music and the stories of being human hidden in lyrics.
