Some of the best things on earth are on the Web... and nowhere else. On this page, we introduce you to some of those treasures:
Working Later is a blog aimed at the boomer generation... those of us who have yet to retire.
"Working at 40+ is not for wimps! And you know what? We still have a life! Relationships, our health, attitudes and all of our responsibilities can't be put on hold because we are at work."
Working Later is here.
Dugan and the Kendrick Road Kings play music that is made for the boomer generation.
Check them out here.
Boomer Women Speak, http://www.boomerwomenspeak.com is a great place for baby boomer women to "encourage, connect, and support one another online."
Our favorite New Age artist is Jeff Bjorck. Listen to portions of his terrific album here: http://www.purepiano.com. Visit his site and listen to selections from his 2 CD's. Better yet; buy them. If you like New Age music, you'll like his stuff.
Sue Kramer wrote BBHQ to tell us about her book, "Lynette": "While the novel is set at the Jersey shore, much of the book takes a look back at the '60s as Lynette Wyckoff tells about running away with her boyfriend to Greenwich Village in 1967 to follow Abbie Hoffman and the civil rights/protest movement as it explodes across the country. Some of the things the two 19-year-olds take part in are the Levitation of the Pentagon, the 1968 Democratic National Convention, and Woodstock as they explore the civil rights movement, the Vietnam protests, and the many refractory groups from the Diggers to the SDS and the Black Panthers." Click here for a closer look.

Willard Scott and Eddie Walker were The Joy Boys. They appeared on WRC radio in Washington, D.C. in the 60s and 70. A true-blue fan has a wonderful web site dedicated to them: http://www.thejoyboys.com.
Does the name "Bethel" ring a bell? It is the home of Woodstock. And now they have their own web site: http://www.townofbethel.com
The Broken Wheel Ranch was, as every good boomer knows, the home of Joey Newton, Jim, Pete and Fury. http://www.brokenwheelranch.com is a huge and wonderful web site dedicated to that classic boomer TV show.

| The BBHQ Feature Album is "Old Friends Live on Stage (Deluxe Edition) (2 CD/1 DVD)," by Simon & Garfunkel. If you were fortunate enough to see them in concert in 2003, 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 in 2003. For any S&G fan, this is a must have! But then, you knew that already, didn't you? |

The BBHQ Feature Book is
"The 5000 Year Leap," by
W. Cleon Skousen. The title does not
adequately identify the content, though the concept of the 5,000 year
leap is astounding. The subtitle, Principles of Freedom 101, is
much more applicable to the subject. This book carefully and clearly
summarizes the thinking of the brilliant founding fathers of our country,
the ideas behind the "miracle that changed the world."
