HERE ARE SOME OF MY FAVORITE SONGS, MOST A BIT MORE RECENT:

Boomers love music. I am no exception. My son is a musician, so I keep up with the new stuff. Here are some of my favorites, in no particular order:

1. "Little Lion Man," Mumford and Sons
2. "Holy Water," Big and Rich
3. "Murder in the City," Avett Brothers
4. "Whoa Mule," Black Crows
5. "The Dreaming Tree," Dave Matthews
6. "The General,"  Dispatch
7. "Old Enough,"  The Raconteurs
8. "The Stone," Phillip Phillips
9. "The Boy Who Couldn't Hoe Corn,"  Alison Krauss and Union Station
10. "He Got All The Whiskey," John Martyn and Eddi Reader (only on YouTube)

There you have it. Add some of your own. As the wise sage Bob Marley said, "One good thing about music,when it hits you, you feel no pain." Good advice for those of us who are getting older.
