During the summer we'd get together for block parties. Everybody would pull out a picnic table and grill to the street. Sting up some lights maybe. Get music going. Those were magical kind of nights...Quote:
hand bonfires in the summer, all of the neighbors would come over and life was much more simple.

I still feel bad about that.

Neese,
1948
I am not over 60, but grew up in the
sixties.
I saw Cream in concert live in Chastain Park,Atlanta.
Saw Chicago at Emory U.
Listened to Jimi Hendrix and Janis Joplin.
Marched to bring home our soldiers in 1969-1970.
Also, marched with Martin L. King's group for equality for all.
Still older than you, Neese.
And I bet my bell bottoms were the best you would see...
