Judith passed away August 5th. I’ve always liked the Seekers as folk music has been my favorite genre.

It was a time in my life of great sadness. Everything was coming apart that I knew as reality and, war was coming.
I actually fled my childhood home in 1964 and only went back occasionally to visit in the years that followed. I had
to go. I just couldn't stay there. I think I broke my Father's heart.
All those songs of interspection were very powerful, such as "Turn, turn, turn. They effected me in powerful ways.
The Seekers, Peter, Paul and Mary, The Kingston Trio and so many others.
I hear them now and get feelings of nostalgia.
Did I make the right decisions? I can't tell you.
In the end it took five years of college studying Psychology to get my head straight again. That was for me.

I can relate to that. I left home when I was ten years old.
