Three Dog Night Youtube videos
When I was a young man – long, long, ago – when I was interested in pop culture – long, long, ago – before I realized man had been around for a long time – there was Three Dog Night. Today is a day for music reflection – and we shall begin with these favorites:

Finding a Voice With Music

Family Life and Family Values
Son,
