1966 Was Forty Years Ago

1966 was a good year for music, too. It was October just after a neighbor gave me a very old (even in 1966) tube radio that I placed on the top shelf of my bedroom closet, and walking into the room after school was playing "Good Vibrations." Now this was really different and it sounded so good. Earlier that summer the Beatles had the spooky "Eleanor Rigby" on the radio again and again. Anyway that's what I remember from forty years ago.

So, back to the present year of 2006, and the music of Rollin' Waters on the Olympic Peninsula. Of course we'll be at the Junction on Sunday as usual. We've had a great turnout of local musicians over the last few weeks and it's been lots of fun. As you know or can imagine, lots of people come to Port Angeles and environs over the summer for vacations, and some of them are players and singers. How perfect for us and the Sunday night jam at the Junction. Last week, Jack from southern Oregon brought his powerful voice and impressed us all. What a treat. We'll see who turns up this Sunday. Next week we're at the Johnson Farm for the annual Farm Tour on Saturday and there's a benefit on Sunday. John Nelson's column in the Daily News will tell us where and when next Thursday. After next week, things get really busy!
