Downtown It's The Summer Of Love






Downtown on Fremont Street they're celebrating the 40th anniversary of the summer of love. I thought the summer of love was in 1967, but who's counting? They have free shows - The Grass Roots above - and Binions is displaying a tie-die Baldwin piano.

  3. The guy on that piano needs no other refreshments to make some spacy music. You sure have colours there.

    How lichen smells like? I can´t really describe it but I regognize it immediately. Have to try to "record" that feeling next time.

  4. You are correct about 1967 being the summer of love but I often get it mixed up myself because 1969 was Woodstock. That may be what they're thinking about.

    What a colorful place. Vivid shots.

  6. Vegas still looks so colorful, but it has probably changed since I have been there last time in 1994 !

  9. That piano is quite something. Perhaps you could send a little of the Vegas sunshine my way?

  11. Being a Hippee in the 60's (actually - a geek!), I believe you're correct on the date of the Summer of Love. However, that was a lOOOOOng time ago, so my memory doesn't serve me well. The tie-dye Baldwin is super though - very 60's (and Vegas, too!).
