Grandma's Been ThereHey Mom, Can The Beatles Stay Here Tonight?As pre-teen rock and roll fans in the mid 1960s, we were passionate followers and defenders of our musical idols. Laugh if you want, but we were totally sincere. With the kind of joy these young musicians and their music brought us, we owed them our allegiance and we were glad to give it.

Grandma's Been ThereRock and RollSince we just passed the 67th anniversary of the date that's come to be known as "the day the music died," I thought I'd spend a few minutes talking about my earliest memories of rock and roll and my first exposure to Buddy Holly's timeless music.

Grandma's Been ThereA Bench For All Seasons: WinterWinter is a season of multiple personalities. When we were kids, we loved some of its personalities, but hated others. Its long cold days were depressing. Just the length of the season tried our patience. But when it gave us snow, the winter was our best friend and it could stay as long as it liked.

Grandma's Been ThereLife in the Temperate ZoneA temperate zone is defined as an area that has a moderate climate and distinct seasons with relatively mild temperatures. "Mild?" That is a relative term. Even though I knew there were plenty of hotter, colder, wetter and drier places on this earth, the middle latitudes didn't always feel so "temperate" to me when I was a kid.

Grandma's Been ThereLiving on the EdgeOur food was processed, artificially flavored, chemically preserved and loaded with sugar and caffeine. We breathed secondhand and thirdhand smoke every day.

We asked total strangers to help us cross the street. We were living on the edge.
