   Reliving The Music Of The Seventies   
      
   We all associate songs and music with events in our life.  Many songs hold   
   special memories for us.  We fondly remember the songs that were playing   
   when we went to our first dance, the songs the school band attempted to play   
   during half time at the high school football games, the songs that we heard   
   on our first date, or the songs we heard on the radio while driving our   
   first car.   
      
   The music of the 1970's is probably the most impressive and most recognized   
   of any era.  The artists of the 1970's provided us with numerous songs we   
   loved to dance to and sing along with.  At that time most bands actually   
   played their own instruments and didn't need to sequence part of it.   
      
   Remember how we used to listen to the music then?  At first we had eight   
   track players in our cars, then we moved upward to cassette players.  Vinyl   
   records were the most popular way to listen to our favorite music.  Every   
   week you could go to your local variety or record store and pick up the new   
   #1 song on a 45 record for under $1.00.  Of course, there was always the   
   radio to listen to - most of the popular channels were on am radio.  We had   
   many styles of music to listen to, including the bubble gum music of David   
   Cassidy and the Partridge Family, soft rock of Barry Manilow, the great   
   dance tunes of the Bee Gees and the Commodores, rock of Aerosmith and Led   
   Zeppelin, the brass band sounds of Chicago, or the disco beat of Chic and   
   Donna Summers.   
      
   The nostalgia of  the 1970's music lives on today.  We can listen to it on   
   our local 70's'radio station, on cds, on mp3, download it on our computer,   
   and burn it onto cds.  For those of us who prefer records, we can still   
   purchase them at record stores, antique or second hand stores, or yard   
   sales.  Of course, many of us have held on to our own record collections and   
   record players and can pull them out at any time when we need to relive   
   those nostalgic days of the 1970's.  Some bands are still performing after   
   more than 30 years.  There's nothing like seeing your favorite 1970's   
   performers live in concert!   
      
   The music of the 1970's is still popular with people of all ages - not just   
   those who grew up with it.  It never grows old.  It only gets better with   
   each passing decade.
