Well, you've read the notes, the notes were boring, and now it is time for you to post until the boring cows come home.

Topic of the Day: What was I up to in the Summer of Love or basically the late 1960s?

Umm...I was born in 1966, so not much, at all. I wasn't even in kindergarten, and I don't think "pre-school" was even a thing, yet.

And now, it's time for bed.

Have a good day, all!

Good morning, all!

Everyone here seems healthy this morning, and that's good.

Around 10:30 I'll head down to the studio to listen to some of the overdubs. I doubt I'll stay for everything.

We have been visited by a bear twice in two days.

This is thanks to its having discovered the bird feeders. Nathan says it’s a young one — but not a cub, which is important — and he’ll be able to scare it off easily. (He’s an exterminator with some training in wildlife control, and has the proper noisemakers and other paraphernalia.)

And I think that’s my news, other than rehearsal rehearsal rehearsal....

I’m afraid I have no Summer of Love stories. I’m depraved on account of I was deprived. Meadowbrook festival is about as exciting as it got for the likes of me. I can at least say that I now enjoy hearing a great deal of the music from those years more than I ever did before.

Annabelle loved patrol this morning. she saw several sparrows and a pigeon, and that has made her day.

The summer of love? I was working summer theatre between junior and senior years of college. I was also taking a symmer school course in American history, as I recall.

I do remember the summer theatre season and even have a few photos. I lived in a house with three other summer theatre students and the house was "the" party place for the entire season. I think I averaged 4-6 hours of sleep a night, and when I got home in August, I went to bed and slept several days straight. The season was A Thurber Carnival, The Firebugs, The King Who Took Sunshine, and The King and I.

I thought I had more photos! The men in the upper right corner of the first photo were two of my housemates, and for the life of me I cannot remember the other one.

TOD - 1967

I was 10, so riding my bicycle, playing ball tag with the other neighborhood kids, reading lots of Nancy Drew and Louisa Mae Alcott and Laura Ingalls Wilder

ChasSmith · « **Reply #16 on:** March 28, 2019, 06:25:26 AM »

Damn. I’m sorry to say I have few if any photos from that time beyond some family stuff.

There must be something. Have to think on it. But I won’t be able to get to it before tomorrow.

DR ELMORE mentioned Martin Gottfried - I went to Amazon and ordered a used copy of his book Opening Nights: Theater Criticism of the Sixties.

It arrived yesterday. It was most entertaining.

Inside the book was a card from the publisher G.P. Putnam's Sons that read that they were happy to send this review copy and ask for a couple of quotes to be sent to a certain address - and the publication date 1/6/70.

Written on the inside cover page was "From the library of Arthur Laurents"......and with the same pen in the same handwriting, his birth & death years...

So who knows who wrote it or how they got it. I paid a whopping $1.99 for it.

DR George those were a good number of similar and duplicate names you worked with.

When we moved into our condo 3 of our neighbos in our building were named Jim and 2 of those had wives with matching names. One Jim moved away and the remaing wives have different names.

Fingers crossed for DR TCB! May your condo search end with today and you find your new home.

My uncle Charles married my mother's sister Edith - and his brother Harold also married a lady named Edith.....so there were two ladies named Edith Swinney who lived within a mile of each other.....

It may have been called something else but it did exist. I went to one and I vividly recall one "special" day. That was the day a boy pushed me off off the metal jungle gym. Falling down the middle of the jungle gym I banged my head and my mother was called to pick me up.

It was the fruit trees that attracted our bear in Ashland.

I was attending elementary school and watching shows like Family Affair and Bewitched because The Partridge Family didn't air until 1970.
