Did you know that the Dillards, Andy Griffith, The Byrds and Dudley Moore were connected? As old Paul Harvey used to say, ¨It´s true!¨. There were so many cross connections in the music of the 60s that sometimes it's like playing that game with 7 degrees of Kevin Bacon. It was an explosion of music and genres that came from Boomers both as performers and buyers of the music. We all share in it together. Support the show
Do you know what Roots Rock is? We didn't until we did research for the show (yes we actually do that). We go through some of the most influential music of the 60s and most of it was made possible by we Boomers; both as performers and listeners and buyers of the records (remember those?). Enjoy remembering them with us both this week and next Support the show
Anyone remember Mel Blanc? He was the man behind Bugs, Daffy, Porky and many more. Without him most of the beloved Warner Brothers cartoon characters wouldn´t have had a voice. Remember him and them in this episode of TV of the 50s. Support the show
Remember "Leave it to Beaver¨? How about ¨Perry Mason¨? Why TV? Because Boomers are the first generation to grow up having television. We all have memories of our favorite TV shows and characters and catch phrases and I cover the high points in this episode. There was so much nostalgia there that I couldn’t cover it in one episode.

Of interest to you should be that if your are a Boomer you are probably going through many of the same things I am at this time in your life and we can share situations and solutions with each other and help with what is happening.

This week's episode is about something that comes to all of us. That is when we head for last roundup, take the dirt nap, wrinkle off. That means die. As the generation that has amassed the most wealth of any in history so far, it will all be staying here after we move on. Hence, we need to plan for how we want it distributed among our relatives, friends and charities before that happens. It is not depressing or morbid and shows your love and care for those that remain behind. To leave and have ...
In this episode with the stock market continuing to fall and folks either with IRAs, 401Ks or inheritance amid rising inflation we discuss areas in which you can invest to avoid these value eaters. Some are traditional, some are not and they are not numbered for ranking purposes. It is just a list. You are the one that needs to ultimately decide what happens with your investment portfolio and just "letting it ride and seeing what happens" is NOT the way to go. Support the show...
You might be wondering what this subject has to do with Boomers. As the oldest group around in most of the world today, health issues are likely to be every bit as important, if not more so, than financial issues for Boomers. Biden has proposed to sign on to the WHO's with new and tougher sanctions and international requirements for the treaty nations and that some say would supersede and subvert our constitution and sovereignty. Listen for yourself and decide. Support the show...

Here Pete Moss talks about it as he faces the situation personally with his mom. There are definite questions to ask whether hospice is the answer. Most of us think that hospice is just warehousing a person with terminal illness but it can and should be something else. It should be care that takes into account all the needs of the patient and the family involved. It is...
