The song I remember from this year...and I'm doing these pages...was Aquarius. Asked why, I would say because of the impression "Hair" made on me when I saw it performed 8 years later (we're behind New York City.) Hey, it's a free opinion...enjoy the memories of '69!

Never underestimate the taste of the public, says H. P. Barnum, and this year's music hits proved him right! Good Times, Bad Times, some to remember, some to forget --hey guys, this IS history! The 5th Dimension took it away, whatever!!
