What Is a Baby Boomer?
There are many definitions of what constitutes a "Baby Boomer" (with none of them being precise). In the loosest sense, the "Baby Boom" occurred after loved ones were reunited following World War II and decided to start families. That would place some emphasis on the years 1945 to 1950, but quite a few discussions of Baby Boomers extend the impacted period into children born during the 1950s and early 1960s. The Korean War during the early 1950s is probably the biggest factor in extending the impacted period. So in looking at Baby Boomer Music, we are talking about music interests for those born between 1945 and (pick a year: 1955 to 1960 and beyond).

"The Baby Boomer Diet" by Donna Gates
The Baby Boomer Diet: Body Ecology's Guide to Growing Younger: Anti-Aging Wisdom for Every Generation
Amazon Price: $15.18 (as of 05/28/2012)
If there is one thing that any Baby Boomer should be paying attention to in addition to music, then it is health. Here is much-needed wisdom about diet and anti-aging strategies for Baby Boomers. But we should probably all welcome anti-aging wisdom, and this book has an abundant supply. If you are not a Baby Boomer but perhaps your parents or some of your friends are, think about this as a gift that will be cherished.

Spotlight Review by Steve Bush
"Baby Boomers Soul Aptitude Test" by Anthony Davis
The BBSAT's - Baby Boomers Soul Aptitude Test
Amazon Price: $14.61 (as of 05/28/2012)
For anyone interested in music, I think this will prove to be both fun and challenging. The focus is on Soul and R&B, a core element in our musical history. Don't let the title stop you from getting this as it has universal appeal.
Nourishing Traditions
A Cookbook for Baby Boomers (and Everyone Else)
Nourishing Traditions: The Cookbook that Challenges Politically Correct Nutrition and the Diet Dictocrats
Amazon Price: $15.72 (as of 05/28/2012)
Concise and comprehensive at the same time. Despite the title, you should read this whether you cook or not. Thought-provoking and informative. A superb book that could not possibly be more relevant.
