      @sharon brown Agree. I am 68. Love the way they touch the history and social aspects of the songs. They hit so much. History, social aspects, rhythms, instrumentations, the stories ("Let's see what he's telling us"), curiosity about the performers, the vocals, and on and on. Hope when COVID goes away that they can chase some music festivals to discover current lesser known talents, too.

      @@deborahjackson8351 I think Lenny said "I won't ever grieve you, baby". "Grieve you" as in cause you grief. Listen again and tell me what you think. Love to you.
