It is the year 4022; all of the ancient country of Usa has been buried under many feet of detritus from a catastrophe that occurred back in 1985. Imagine, then, the excitement that Howard Carson, an amateur archeologist at best, experienced when in crossing the perimeter of an abandoned excavation site he felt the ground give way beneath him and found himself at the bottom of a shaft, which, judging from the DO NOT DISTURB sign hanging from an archaic doorknob, was clearly the entrance to a still-sealed burial chamber. Carson's incredible discoveries, including the remains of two bodies, one of then on a ceremonial bed facing an altar that appeared to be a means of communicating with the Gods and the other lying in a porcelain sarcophagus in the Inner Chamber, permitted him to piece together the whole fabric of that extraordinary civilization.

Do you sometimes find yourself longing for "the good old days"? Do you laugh at yourself for even thinking this because - after all - you're not even 50 yet? And - upon seeing some of the things the kids of today have, or when you see how easy they have it, do you catch yourself thinking out loud "When I was a kid..." only to cover your mouth in horror as you realize that you sound just like your parents? Do you feel a jolt of... you're not sure what... when you realize that you're thinking of the '70s? How good things were in the '70s? Join the author as he recounts his own experiences growing up in this avocado green and burnt orange decade. The things we had and the things we didn't have; the things we took for granted and what family life was like in those years. Remember the music, the movies, the cars, the toys, the fashions, and so much more as your sentimental recollections play once again before you like a worn out 8mm movie in your mind. We were kids in the '60s, teens in the '70s, and now we're almost 50. This is a humorous, nostalgic, pensive, and fun-filled look at what it was like to grow up in this generation. Try to keep up with the fun as you revisit your childhood memories, and don't be surprised if you, like the author, find yourself longing once again for "the good old days." DARRYLL SHERMAN lives in Pullman, Washington with his wife and their two children. He is a licensed Architect and works at Washington State University. He also has his own business designing private residences in the greater Palouse area. He is a pianist, songwriter and singer and is involved in the music department at his local church. Growing up in beautiful western Washington, Darryll attributes his appreciation of nature to the many family vacations spent in the Cascades and the surrounding areas. His interests also include carpentry, gardening, fishing, hiking, racquetball and art.

The 1970s was a rich time for pop songs. It was dominated by ABBA, whose dress sense sometimes posed an obstacle for image-conscious music fans but whose music proved to be the real thing. Blondie brought some New York punk energy to a clutch of catchy numbers, Dylan gave us his anthemic ‘Knockin’ On Heaven’s Door’, Lennon released his even more anthemic ‘Imagine’, new kid Elvis Costello arrived with ‘Oliver’s Army’ while Carly Simon had a hit with her seductively cagey ‘You’re So Vain’. The Big Book Of 70s Songs (PVG) presents 26 hits from this exciting era, each carefully arranged for Piano and Voice, with Guitar chord boxes and full lyrics. Songlist: - (Don’t Fear) The Reaper [Blue Öyster Cult] - Airport [The Motors] - Baby, I Love Your Way [Peter Frampton] - Baker Street [Gerry Rafferty] - Don’t Stop [Fleetwood Mac] - Forever Autumn [Justin Hayward] - Goodbye Yellow Brick Road [Elton John] - How Deep Is Your Love [The Bee Gees] - Imagine [John Lennon] - Knockin’ On Heaven’s Door [Bob Dylan] - Life On Mars? [David Bowie] - Live And Let Die [Wings] - Make Me Smile (Come Up And See Me) [Steve Harley & Cockney Rebel] - Mamma Mia [ABBA] - Moondance [Van Morrison] - No Woman, No Cry [Bob Marley & The Wailers] - Oliver’s Army [Elvis Costello & The Attractions] - Picture This [Blondie] - Say You Don’t Mind [Colin Blunstone] - Take It Easy [The Eagles] - The Joker [The Steve Miller Band] - This Town Ain’t Big Enough For Both Of Us [Sparks] - Up The Junction [Squeeze] - What’s Going On [Martin Gaye] - You’re My Best Friend [Queen] - You’re So Vain [Carly Simon]

Andrew Collins was born 37 years ago in Northampton. His parents never split up, in fact they rarely exchanged a cross word. No-one abused him. Nobody died. He got on well with his brother and sister and none of his friends drowned in a canal. He has never stayed overnight in a hospital and has no emotional scars from his upbringing, except a slight lingering resentment that Anita Barker once mocked the stabilisers on his bike. Where Did It All Go Right? is a jealous memoir written by someone who occasionally wishes life had dealt him a few more juicy marketable blows. The author delves back into his first 18 years in search of something - anything - that might have left him deeply and irreparably damaged. With tales of bikes, telly, sweets, good health, domestic harmony and happy holidays, Andrew aims to bring a little hope to all those out there living with the emotional after-effects of a really nice childhood. Andrew Collins kept a diary from the age of five, so he really can remember what he had for tea everyday and what he did at school, excerpts from his diary run throughout the book and it is this detail which makes his story so compelling.

"Minnesota forged an identity during the 1970s that would persist, rightly or wrongly, for decades to come. It was a place of note and consequence--a state of presidential candidates, grassroots activism, civic engagement, environmental awareness, and Mary Tyler Moore. All these subjects and more are covered in this book"--
