INTRODUCTION & MUSINGS
Welcome All!
So, what's it all about man?
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 to grow.

HEY!
Another totally loaded groovy issue this month. Lots of Links,
Quotes, contributions and more!
With spring here, and summer sure to follow, things are really
shaking at my home here in Colorado. I am wanting to get out and
do some hiking, photography, and just enjoying the great outdoors
much more this year. It is amazing how life and living sometimes
has its own plans for our future.
As always, I would really love to hear from more of you. If you
have anything that fits this rag, please share it with us.
If you (any of you) get a chance, just let me know what areas of
the newsletter you like more than the others. Maybe I could focus
a bit more on what you like.
Well, until next time, happy reading!

comment: I was born in 1958 and the 10 years between '65 and '70
will never be equaled in music and good feelings. I am so happy

Subject: Attention all Vietnam Veterans and their Partners !
THIS IS IMPORTANT TO ALL VIETNAM VETERANS AND THEIR PARTNERS!
A book is currently being written with a view to putting pressure
on the government of Australia to recognize that Veterans
Partners need support too!
Partners of Vet's have also suffered as a result of the war in
Vietnam, and like the Veterans, continue to suffer to this day.
A book is being written to highlight the difficulties of not just
the Veterans, but also of their wives, their children and their
friends around them.
Please, can you contribute stories, events, times and places
where your Veteran served, and also stories about their health,
the health of their partners (this is not just "physical health"
either, but all aspects.
Please assist us in gaining access for the partners of our
Veterans, so that we might support the Veterans better.
If you should wish to know more, simply visit our web site and
submit your stories and events at
http://www.vietnamveteransandpartners.org

Subject: Reeling in the Years
Film, television, and digital media have become a part of almost
everyone's life over the past eighty years, and you can take a
closer look at moving pictures and their impact at The American
Museum of the Moving Image [ http://www.ammi.org/site/site.asp
].
A recent online exhibit explored how television has affected
presidential campaigns since the 1950s and allowed visitors to
watch campaign ads from 1952 to 2000 on Real Player. Other
exhibits used Flash animation to show how moving image machines
work and lead you through a collection of classic video games.

Guitar Central
Ever since Jimi Hendrix gave life and genius to it, the guitar
has been considered the coolest instrument around. It is the
tangible symbol of Rock n' Roll, a glorified ukulele that,
plugged or unplugged, delivers a bolt of severe emotion and
energy to music. Guitar.com is the online haven for this coveted
instrument's ambitious students, seasoned masters, and loyal
fans.
This website is nothing short of guitar heaven. There is a
magazine's worth of cool articles, guitar-related discussion
groups, access to personal instruction and great tips and tricks
about playing the instrument. Check out the Chained Effects
Generator, an interactive program 'designed to give you a basic
idea of the sounds that characterize five stompbox effects'.

Subject: The Sacred Narghile
The Sacred Narghile
Smoking tobacco through the sacred narghile, otherwise known as a
hookah, is a daily ritual enjoyed by over a hundred million
people (primarily in Europe, Asia and Northern Africa.) The
ancient water pipe, despite its popularity and history in the
East, is essentially obsolete here in America.
This fascinating website pays tribute to the holy hookah,
exploring the debate over its origins, the international
diversity of the pipe and even its presence as a fixture in art
and society. It is an extremely detailed look into its
traditions and functions, accompanied with photographs, which
reveals the narghile as not only a tool for smoking tobacco, but
as an exotic instrument of conversation and custom all over the
world.

"Let us leave the lotus blossom as it is. It blooms when it
blooms, it falls when it falls. Now it stands up in full blossom
under the clear blue sky, and the entire cosmos is reflected in
it. Neither the Buddha nor Kasyapa can touch that--nor can we.
It simply greets us in the soft breeze and awaits our quiet and
holy smile."
- Takeuchi Yoshinori

"Gravitation cannot be held responsible for people falling in
Love."

"When governments fear the people there is liberty.

"The twelve scariest words in the English language are:

"Every man, from the highest to the lowest station, ought to warm
his heart and animate his endeavours with the hopes of being
useful to the world, by advancing the art which it is his lot to
exercise; and for that end he must necessarily consider the
whole extent of its application, and the whole weight of its
importance."
- Samuel Johnson

"We owe it to ourselves as respectable human beings, as thinking
human beings, to do what we can to make humanity more rational...
Humanists recognize that it is only when people feel free to
think for themselves, using reason as their guide, that they are
best capable of developing values that succeed in satisfying
human needs and serving human interests."

by Ted Owen, Denise Dickson
Paperback - 176 pages (June 1999)
Sanctuary Pub Ltd
ISBN: 1860742564
Book Description
Sixties psychedelic poster art has stretched beyond the ephemeral
and functional nature of its design to become highly collectable

creation of psychedelia and the imagery born of this movement. It
covers the Avalon and Fillmore ballrooms who commissioned the
art, the UFO Club in London and features leading American
artists, profiles of British artists and it describes the
collectors' experience.

FEATURED ALBUM

Fragile [ORIGINAL RECORDING REMASTERED]
Yes
Audio CD (August 16, 1994)
Wea/Atlantic; ASIN: B000002J1F
Editorial Review
With the 1972 release of Fragile, Yes established themselves as
one of the most progressive rock bands on the scene. With the
recent addition of towering, silver-caped Rick Wakeman on
keyboards, they raised their innovative brand of music to even
dizzier heights. "Roundabout," which is still a standard on
classic rock playlists, is an unusual track, coming in under
four minutes, while "Heart of the Sunrise"--with its varied
constituents molded together perfectly--goes on for as long as
it needs.--Paul Clark
Tracks
1. Roundabout
2. Cans And Brahms
3. We Have Heaven
4. South Side Of The Sky
5. Five Per Cent For Nothing
6. Long Distance Runaround

Editorial Review
Like the hit album that inspires its name, Supernatural Live
brings journeyman guitarist Carlos Santana back into the
mainstream by surrounding him with younger superstars eager to
bask in his formidable musical presence. Resuscitating stardom
through sheer proximity can translate to forced pairings or
superfluous music making, but... more at amazon.com
