BoomerByte - The Soundtrack of a Generation
BoomerBytes is an audial pastiche of sounds from the Baby Boomer Era (1940s-1960s). Content consists of public domain government films, PSAs, political campaign materials, and various clips that recall innocent times with a menacing Cold War backdrop. Relive fears of Communist paranoia, teenage social etiquette films, how to survive nuclear warfare as well as historic moments that marked the decades of children growing up in the wake of World War II. Note from Joe Hill; I am NOT "Joe Hill, author and son of writer Stephen King." Joe Hill is my real name and I am not related in any way to the famous labor organizer, Joe Hill.

Remember when you went over to a friend's house on Sunday night to watch Bonanza---because they had color television? Boomers got "two for the price of one" when they witnessed, first, black and white TVs and then got the bonus of color later in the 1960s. This short episode should appeal to vintage tv lovers as well as technology geeks.
