The 60’s were a time of tumultuous change not only in this country’s history, but the world over. Change (some good, some bad) was coming just around the corner and when it finally got here, it turned things around in a hurry.
The 60’s also inspired some of the most beautifully lyrical popular music. Growing up, I used to spend lazy summer afternoons lying on my bed, reading poetry and listening to Dad playing his old, scratchy vinyl records – including Petula Clark, The Seekers and Peter Paul & Mary. It was a great musical education for a romantic at heart like me. It was the memories of this sweet music that helped carry me through the stormy days that lay ahead.
So, for those of you who lived through the 60’s (or wish that you had) here is Thursday’s Music Selection.
First, here are three from Petula Clark

Life is a reality, you can't always run away.
Don't be so scared of changing and rearranging yourself.
It's time for jumping down from the shelf a little bit.
And from America's own folk-music group, Peter, Paul and Mary
