Calling all Baby Boomer "Hippies"!

As we got settled in at the Moody Blues concert, I couldn't help but notice the numerous old geezers middle-aged fans. One gentleman that caught my eye was sweet enough to pose in this picture for me. He was totally decked out in his tie-dye all the way down to his multi-colored Crocs.

An elderly couple in front of us professed to having gone to 75 Moody Blues concerts...and, they still got moved by several of the old songs as shown by their gazing at each other lovingly...and holding hands across their lawn chairs. Sigh.

The gentleman from this couple was able to match Dave song by song to old albums of the Blues and the memories that they held. I know that Dave enjoyed talking with this guy and going down a memory lane of his own...

The concert was great....the crowd was relaxed, but enthusiastic when appropriate....we ate our picnic dinner while sipping on our drinks...and, all the while, a beautiful full moon was shining down on the park.

For a couple of hours we were back in a time when we were young again...and, it felt so good.
