Well that's a silly question! There is no such thing because babyboomers go from 1946-1964! It's possible that there could be parent-child duos that are both babyboomers and we know that parents and children rarely like the same music!
However, I know that my group of "older boomers" really likes the Beatles, Motown, and all those groups that were featured on "American Bandstand." So how can that music be healing for us? Well, there is lots of research in the field of music therapy that confirms that when people are in early stages of Alzheimer's and other dementias, the music of their "Courting years" is often the music that they still remember, can sing along with and cheers them up considerably! I've already told me daughters the music that I want to hear if, God forbid, that happens to me.
Here's one of my favorites from my "courting years." Bill Boone, are you listening?
