Welcome to Boomtown America. The only place on the web designed by and for Baby Boomers and ALL our passions and interests.
Our music mix is unique. It was created by radio professionals who went beyond a 1950’s, 60’s, and 70’s “oldies” mentality. We have created nothing less than a mix of ROCK & ROLL’S GREATEST HITS – everything from the dawn of rock right up through today!
Our Challenge to You: Listen when you’re working or relaxing. Take a couple of days to experience the incredible depth and variety of music we offer. If you like what you hear (and we know that you will), PLAY IT FORWARD!
Invite 2 of your friends or family members to give it a listen in the same way. Spread the word. The Baby Boomers have a home on the Internet – Boomtown America!
1967: A new British blues band, Peter Green’s Fleetwood Mac makes its concert debut at the National Jazz and Blues Festival in Windsor, England, sharing the bill with Cream, Donovan, the Small Faces and Chicken Shack.
That last band is fronted by a female singer named Christine Perfect, who before long, would become Christine McVie and a member of Fleetwood Mac.
Anybody but us remember when THIS was "the American Way?"
Many us find sleeping all the way through the night more of a challenge than we did a few years ago.
Here are some of the most common cause…and cures!
Cure: Avoid eating food within 3 hours of bedtime. Also, when you d have your evening meal, go for fruits veggies, fish and nuts.
Cure: Check with you doctor. Let him or her know the medication you take and see if they may a cause and what you might do as an alternative.
Cure: Try using massage, heat or even acupuncture as ways to treat back pain. There is also some research that shows drinking tart cherry juice twice a day might reduce pain and increase sleep by as much as 84 minutes a night.
Cure: Talk to your doctor. Getting the correct diagnosis is the first step. Then he or she can recommend the remedy that may be best for you.
We are currently involved in a project, trying to commit to digital files the entire run of the Beatles official British fan magazine, Beatle Book Monthly. This magazine was never distributed in America, so most of these pictures and articles have never been seen in the States. The magazine ran from August, 1963 (6 months before Beatlemania broke out in the States) until the band's break-up in 1970.
Take a look at the center spread from the magazine's very first issue. Notice anything different about Ringo's bass drum?
BTW - If you'd be interested in obtaining a copy of these magazines once we have finished converting them to digital copies, contact us!
A Summer Place (1959)
Want to see how much times have changed? Drag this one-time blockbuster from 1959 out of mothballs and give a spin!
There’s a reason A Summer Place is best-remembered for its musical theme and not for its plot or acting. The subject matter is sex… middle-age sex and teen-age sex. And like most films from that time period, it wants to give you all the dirty details with a heaping dose of hypocritical moralizing.
