CSGreen Posted September 16, 2006 Share Posted September 16, 2006 Frontier announces 2007 program In 2007, Frontier is turning back the clock, almost 40 years. The year...1968. America was in a turbulent time. The Vietnam War caused violent opinions on both sides of the battle, and a multitude of emotion. Civil Rights battles reached new heights, and we lost one of it’s strongest and most vocal proponents… Martin Luther King, Jr. We also lost Robert Kennedy, and took one step closer to landing on the moon. Steppenwolf was rocking with Born to be Wild, and The Graduate was playing in the cinemas. The end of a decade was approaching, the tide was turning, America was changing, and music can tell it’s story. Drawing from the Broadway musical Hair, a piece written about the situation in Prague in 1968, the theme from a hit movie, a song by a legendary band (Blood Sweat and Tears) and performed by a legendary performer (our recent loss of Maynard Ferguson), and an anthem that has lived well beyond its initial popularity… 1968 isn’t a story, but merely a picture of life in the year 1968 Selections and Inspirations from: Age of Aquarius from Hair Music for Prague: 1968 The Heart is a Lonely Hunter Spinning Wheel Bridge Over Troubled Water Born to Be Wild http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VmZOsysbBzE Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rratex Posted September 16, 2006 Share Posted September 16, 2006 Looks like 2007 is going to be truly awesome for Frontier! I remember 1968 and all those songs and events. I hope I can keep my composure when I hear the music. One question...Chris, what do know about 1968? Were you even born yet? :) Good tidings to you and all my Frontier friends in '07!
