My older brother ..Hendrix and Beatles etc.

Every family birthday, same story. Again, you have to explain what kind of band you are in. What’s the story this time for aunt Jenny and uncle Clive?
Aunt Jenny, I was in a Punk Rock Band in the ’70s but I am not 18 years old anymore and I no longer have teenage worries or ignorance. I am 59 and have new worries and am a little less ignorant.
Uncle Clive, you will dig it. Kinda 60’s Pop and melancholy but with a Boston Rock background.
