Soul Never Dies

This meme popped up on a Facebook Hippy group page I joined awhile back. Similar memes have passed by over the last so many years. It seems my generation and others, my parents, my kid's and her  friend's kids seem to believe that "their music" was the best ever. There is no, nor ever will be, any better music out there.

Bullshit. 

Bob Seeger was wrong when he wrote this and he is still wrong.

I responded with:

Yeah, I used to think that Music of today did not have the same soul as what I listened to with younger ears. The reason was not because there is no new music out there with soul. It is because for too long, I stopped looking for it.

Don't let your rose colored glasses stop you from looking for new joy like you had "back in the day".

Don't get me wrong. The music of my youth will always be my favorite. The songs I grew up with, the songs I nervously danced to with nervous girls at teen clubs and the music I hauled for several years all over North America, ..........

Well, that was then, this is now. Now I am still searching and still finding music that moves me like it did before.

So, in line with Music having soul or not, I would like to offer up these two You Tube videos. Both are covers of the music many of us still hold close to our hearts. Both are performed by youngsters still wet behind their years. Hope you enjoy them.

First up are The Graystones with the their cover of "The Logical Song", recorded in 1978 or was it 1979 by Supertramp. These kids punch way over their weight class, especially the sax player.

The second tune is from a family band, Missioned Souls and their cover of "Highway Star, by Deep Purple". Enjoy.

All this points out that "Soul" never dies. It never leaves. If we do things right, we pass it on.

Keep it tween the ditches ...................................
