Losing It: Serenade to the Sixties Jean Delgrosso

The time is the "Sixties" . . . JFK landing on the moon,flower children, love-beads, the Manson murder trial and convictions, theBeatles and getting high!¿ All the talkis very "deep" and feelings hang out everywhere; everyone is searching for areason just to be.¿ There's no tomorrowand if there is, it's "beautiful man!"¿"It's cool, groovy, and outta sight!"When you're young and away from home, you take on a newfamily.¿ Those who travel, work andperform with you, they become more important to you than you ever thoughtanyone could be.¿ You share more withthem than you ever would with your own kin.¿And love grows there like it never would at home. From musical summer stock to touring the United States and Australia,these poems and songs chronicle the writer's emotional challenges, changes andgrowth throughout the sixties and early seventies, a time of challenges andchanges for every one of us who experienced them when we were young and full oflove and hope.
