  4. Damn, 55 years is a long time, but this video grabs that little piece of 1967 and brings it back alive. I remember this sweet song, and haven’t thought about it in that long. But this, and even more, the “History of” video it recommends, showing the participants through the ages, as it were, to almost the present day, awed me with the grandeur and inevitable evanescence of a what it means to be alive for that much time. Bravo, Seekers! Great choice, John!
