The sixties were a glorious time, unlikely to ever be repeated or rivalled. The fifties had been a cautious decade, where women stayed home after marrying to take care of their men, kids didn’t sass parents, and no one questioned authority in the family or in their country. Well, at least on the surface.
I have written about Sheldon Gomberg and his support of Sweet Relief before. For those who don’t know, Sweet Relief is a charity organization dedicated to helping musicians in need. It was founded by musician Victoria Williams to help her meet the financial challenges of a serious illness and gained a life of its own shortly thereafter, the funds going to a wider expanse and eventually going to all musicians, if they qualify. Yes, it is a business (though nonprofit) and has to have guidelines to exist and survive.
