What makes music healing for baby boomers?


Why do baby boomers have healing music that is different from anyone else's healing music? Well, one of the special categories of healing music is the music that an individual "fell in love to" or "courted to." For we baby boomers that's going to be anythings from the early rock and rollers like Elvis or Jimmy Dean to the Beatles, Jimi Hendricks or The Who. When we are in our 80's and 90's, there's a very good chance that we'll want to hear that music and that it will make us feel warm and fuzzy and really good inside. Strange? Not really. It's the music that first gave us a physical rush when we danced to it or kissed our boyfriend or girlfriend to. There's a powerful connection between our feelings, our hormone rushes and the music we're listening to at that moment.


I've already started trying to re-collect some of my favorites now that so much music is being re-issued on CD or MP3. How about you?

Baby Boomers at Carnegie Hall




You may have read in my other blogs about my recent trip to NYC to hear my sister conduct her orchestra at Carnegie Hall! I'm on my home now and thought you might enjoy seeing a few pictures from this fabulous and memorable trip! The concert on Tuesday night was just awesome and I was so proud of my baby sister. She, my other sister who was there, and I, were three babyboomers for whom music was extremely healing. Enjoy the pictures...you'll also see our mother in one of these pictures!
