  1. I have to watch this every once in a while to reaffirm my faith in humanity.

  2. I was even more interested than usual in today's episode, because I live in Vienna and often perform Hildegard's music here in my instrument making workshop. She was a wonderful composer, but hardly recognized as such until recently. My music history classes at UC Berkeley didn't even mention her. And as you showed, she was an amazing personality. Danke aus sonnigem Wien, Scott

  3. Simply wonderful. It's especially interesting to me, since I perform several Hildegard pieces regularly in our marionette concerts. She was a great composer, who was unaccountably not even mentioned in my university studies of music history. cheers from sunny Vienna, Scott

  4. Lots of Pakistanis here in Vienna. I wonder why? Great reporting as usual. Thanks from sunny Austria, Scott

  5. Thanks, David, for another poignant slice of history. I was 17 in 1967, and although I listened to the music of the scene, I was far too uptight to do drugs or go to love-ins. That changed when I turned 19, when my cousin Ginny (rest in peace) took me to an Airplane concert at the Fillmore. Keep up the good work. Lunch is still on me if you're ever in town. cheers from sunny Vienna, Scott

  6. Nice work, Johnny. And bravo Finland. cheers from another country between spheres of influence, Austria.

  7. You get a like just for the Don Ho reference. Also for Beowulf, which I've performed a bit of in Old English. Very nicely done as usual. The mead is on me if you're ever in town. cheers from cloudy Vienna, Scott

  8. Yes. Born in 1950 near SF. I scorned a lot of hippie culture, but believed that they would make the world a more loving place. I was sadly deluded. Not the only one. Great work again, David. All the best to you and yours. Lunch offer remains open if you're ever in town. Cheers from rainy Vienna, Scott

  10. Yeah. Having grown up in California in the fifties, I have seen many changes. I also left California for good in 1982. It's not just California, of course. But it's a microcosm of what's wrong with the world. cheers from overcast Austria, Scott

  11. When I subscribed to your channel, I asked myself why I did so, being an atheist. Now I know. Fascinating, erudite, polite, funny. Kudos. Lunch is on me if you're ever in town. Cheers from sunny Vienna, Scott

  12. Fascinating. Subscribed. Cheers from a Middle English and Mittelhochdeutsch freak from Vienna, Scott

  13. Another great film, thanks, David. I notice that the violin Lunsford is playing is obviously homemade. Works fine and probably saved the price of many meals. cheers from sunny Vienna, lunch offer still open, Scott

  14. Another wonderful look at the time I grew up in. Thanks, David. Lunch is on me if you're ever in Vienna. Cheers, Scott

  15. You got my like for "Gladiatorade" alone. Everything else was just a bonus. Fascinating as usual. Lunch is on me if you're ever in town. cheers from sunny Vienna, Scott

  16. Another American in Europe here, in my case Austria. Yep, agreed on all counts. When I grew up in California in the fifties and sixties, we had much more freedom than nowadays in the US. I walked to school in the first grade, and so did almost all of my classmates. Nowadays most kids in the US have never even climbed a tree. No wonder there's so much mental sickness there. When my wife and I were trying to decide whether to live in California, or in Austria, one of the major factors in our decision was how our kids' lives would be. We're both glad we decided for Europe. Very perceptive reporting. Subscribed. All the best to you and yours, Grüße aus bewölktem Wien, Scott

  17. As a musician, I applaud Bascom Lamar Lunsford, for helping to encourage and preserve this marvelous music. As a human, thanks for reaffirming our equality.

  19. I've been living in Austria since '82. And while I didn't move here for the bread, it's a most welcome perk.

  20. What a wonderful essay at what might have been. Cheers from rainy Vienna, Scott

  21. Another typically informative video. The quality of the food here in Austria is one of many reasons I'm glad I moved here from California, over forty years ago. Thanks from sunny Vienna, Scott

  22. Now that is fine. Thanks to this talented barber and the talented filmmaker. And thanks to life, too.

  23. Yep. I was very lucky in this time. My lottery number was 19, which meant I was very likely to be called up. I managed to time my student deferral so that I just escaped being mustered for Vietnam. I would have gone to Canada or jail rather than to war. Many others were not so lucky. Lets hope this kind of thing is something we learn not to do.

  24. Super gemacht wie üblich. I'm a few years ahead of you with kids (we're expecting our second grandchild), but all of this pertained to back then in Austria too: more integration of kids in the adult community, with benefits to kids and grownups alike. My wife hates beer, but even she was impressed by our tour of the local Ottakringerbrauerei. They have integrated themselves prächtig with the community, including environment and children. I do miss California, but I'm never going back. cheers from sunny Vienna, Scott

  26. Magical. I saw Joan Baez at the Greek Theater in Berkeley around this time, but I missed Earl Scruggs.

  27. I965. I was fifteen, about the age of some of the dancers here, but I don't recall ever having this much fun. Simply wonderful. Thanks again. Cheers from overcast Vienna, Scott

  32. What a bizarre and fascinating story. I lived through these times but I never saw this side of them.

  33. James Baldwin was one of our greatest voices for justice in the 20th century.
