"After owning this piece for six years now, it's still one of my faves. When it's on in the car someone will invariably ask, "who is this?" followed by some rave review. "Still in this thing" is one of the best. What has happened to the Boomers?"

"This album never gets old. Of all the tunes on my frequent players list, it ages the least.Amazing studio work, smart and funny lyrics from a very experienced and talented group.Too bad they are in retirement. I'd love to hear more."

Boomers revisited

"10 years ago I was listening to a local "offbeat" radio station which has since fell by the wayside. It was a nice retreat from the typical "Rock" cookies cutter stations in my area. If I heard Zepplin, The Stones, or some other worn out over played artists I would slit my wrists. It was here on the small low powered station that I first came across The Boomers. The station didn't say who the artist were, so I looked up the stations number and called. The voice at the other end informed me that The Boomers was a band out of Canada. The cut I heard was the title song "Art of Living". I like it so much I started calling the local records store to buy a copy of this album. I was informed that it was not available in the U.S. So I drove up to Toronto to obtain a copy. It was a three hour drive but well worth it. On my trip back I played the CD and it was a very cool ride back. Titles such as Modern Man and others were moving and insightful. A few years later that album and some others were stolen from my car. So I made another trip to replace it. To sum it up one of my all time favorite albums. Thank God for those "offbeat" small stations."
