1963-1973

I was asked to prepare a four-hour party playlist of music from 1963 to 1973. It's not supposed to be definitive, it is in no way scholarly, and it omits The Monkees, so it's not even the perfect playlist for me. But I like it. It serves its purpose, and it's worth sharing here.

Congratulations to my cousin Albert Pallone--the single most Italian-American person I've ever met--on his induction today into The Urban Sports Hall Of Fame Of Syracuse, NY. This was a great day with family, and that's always a good thing. Mazel tov, Alberto!
