The BBHQ Album of the Month is the "Old Friends Live on Stage (Deluxe Edition) (2 CD/1 DVD)," by Simon & Garfunkel.  Old Friends Live on Stage (Deluxe Edition) (2 CD/1 DVD)

If you were fortunate enough to see them in concert, I do not have to sell you. The concert was terrific! This album collection includes 55 songs, plus their new recording, "Citizen of the Planet," and one of the songs sung by the Everly Brothers during the concert. The DVD was recorded during their concert in Madison Square Garden last December. For any S&G fan, this is a must have! But then, you knew that already, didn't you?

Lyrics You Can Share

The words and music of our youth define the boomer years. They stand so far above anything before... or since. So we encourage you to remember the lyrics with us... and share them with your friends and family. No parental warnings necessary; no hate music; just a reminder of what made our youth so special. We feature a different set of lyrics every week.

Our "Lyrics You Can Share" for this week come from a great song by John Denver, "Home Again":

There's a storm across the valley,
clouds are rolling' in
the afternoon is heavy on your shoulders.

There's a truck out on the four lane,
a mile or more away
the whining' of his wheels just makes it colder.

He's an hour away from riding'
on your prayers up in the sky
and ten days on the road are barely gone.

The rest of the lyrics are in our Lyrics Section.

Come back to BBHQ each week to share lyrics with us.

The BBHQ Book of the Month is "Vinyl Highway," by Dee Dee Phelps. You remember her as Dee Dee, of Dick and Dee Dee. Together, they took a decade long ride on the rock and roll roller coaster. It was a heck of a ride! Dick Clark, Quincy Jones, the Beach Boys, Glenn Campbell, Dionne Warwick, Bobby Vinton... Dick and Dee Dee rubbed shoulders with all of them. This is her "behind the scenes" story. It's pretty cool.
