Papa Do Run: A Baby Boomer Looks (and Laughs) at Vintage Rock & Roll
Papa Do Run: A Baby Boomer Looks (and Laughs) at Vintage Rock & Roll is a fast fun ride through the 50s, 60, and 70s. The author doesn't miss a beat in these generous, irreverent, often hilarious essays of growing up in 60s. From Motown to the British invasion, from cars to surf, she proves that for some, it's not only rock and roll, it's a love story.

Thank you's
Another big "thanks" to lensmaster giddygabby, who has done this same thing, only different, over at Boomers Rock Headquarters. Giddy was the first to demonstrate the cooperative spirit of Squidoo to me back when I was just a newbie lensmaster, and I appreciate her for it.
