Keep On Truckin' Re-Visited is a moderated newsletter/list about the time between the mid 60s and mid 70s. It was designed to examine and present a positive nostalgia of a time since past. It is also designed to provide a forum for you to share your feelings, thoughts and experiences from that time frame. Please participate and help this community grow. ---------------- When does this thing come out anyway?

Be it the war in Vietnam or women's rights, civil rights, etc., let me hear from you about things that happened to you or your friends.

But brothers and sisters and friend-folk call me Moonshadow or Lil. What ever floats your boat man. Mt mother intended for me to be: sunny rae but my father wanted no part of that "hippy-crap". Sorry pops I came out a hippy anyways! I am a free-spirited hippy chic who doesn't believe in shaving her pits or legs. I am a vegetarian, play guitar and sing. Believe in peace, love, & bliss, and rock & roll too. I love most ALL music from the 60s & 70s but mostly the hippy protest and folk work. I am also a big lover of reggae. I listen most to reggae and grateful dead. I travel all over the country in my old chevy pickup bra-less and barefoot working on organic farms to earn my way. I love animals and people too. I am studying natural medicine and spend extra time in my herb garden or else making up herbal remedies and potions. I have 2 dogs that travel most everywhere with me. I consider myself born out of due season. What is often times refered to as a throw-back. My body is only 25 years old but my soul is old. I feel most comfortable with all things '60s. I believe I may very well have been at Woodstock in Spirit. Well brother V, that is a bit of a low-down on this sister. Hope to hear from you soon. Peace and Bliss. Namaste. Jah Guide. Oh yes, and keep on truckin' !

At that time, I had just opened a "nostalgia" movie theatre and he was a graphic artist having designed album covers for Jimi Hendrix, The Rolling Stones and The Beatles. His metaphysical personal site invites you to experience another reality and unlock the secrets that are hidden inside. It is one of the most thoughtful and beautiful sites we have reviewed.

The purpose of this ambitious book is to assure readers that anyone can engage in this process--"it isn't a matter of faith, religious teaching, innate goodness, luck or some other mysterious factor," Chopra explains. "Our brains are hardwired to find God." This hardwiring is deftly explored as Chopra lists the seven ways humans know God and how they correspond to the anatomy of our human brains. He devotes a chapter to each of the seven visions of God: "Protector," "Almighty," "God of Peace," "Redeemer," "Creator," "God of Miracles," and "Pure Being--I am." In every chapter he asks and answers the same questions for the readers: "Who am I?" "How do I fit in?" "How do I find God?" The format works well, helping to tame this broad discussion while also illuminating the different personality types that are attracted to these seven different visions.

Carlos Nakai, Peter Kater Audio CD (February 12, 1990) Original Release Date: 1990 This is one album in my collection that I keep going back to. It is the most relaxing music you can find. Like I say, "To HELL with STRESS!" Editorial Reviews Amazon.com essential recording This collaboration with new age keyboard star Peter Kater is the album that introduced Nakai mainstream record buyers. On its release, Natives stayed on Billboard's New Age Chart for almost a year, paving the way for the current renaissance in the Native flute. Once again the music is totally improvised, with Kater's romantic melodies and fat, left-hand chord clusters on the concert grand, providing a fertile environment for Nakai's flights of improvisational fancy. And although Kater is an impressive piano stylist, this is clearly Nakai's show; the brittle tones of his Eagle-bone whistle, and his measured chanting to the accompaniment of an Algonquin turtle rattle always move the music to a higher plane. --j. poet Tracks: 1.
