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.
