Man I just love this style of music! My mom was one of those flower power childs ...lol whatever it's called. Anyways born in 71 but growing up my mom would play all these tunes and more like 50's to late 60's and a wide variety, somehow I connected with Buddy Holly, Chuck Berry, Muddy Waters, BB King, early Elvis and the list could go on and on, it just soothes my soul and puts me in my happy place.. so thank you for posting these. Great playing!
