『Where have all the flowers gone?』、きれいなメロディーですが、詩の内容は反戦歌です。 このころの歌には、反戦であったり、世界平和であったり、そんなメッセージがありました。そして学生運動、安保反対、ベトナム戦争反対など、反戦デモの集会にはフォークソングがつきものの時代だったように思います。 自己中的オリジナルフォークもいいですがこのような歌も今の若い方達が歌ってまた次の世代へ伝えて頂きたいと感じます。
ハーモニカ仲間の綿谷さん、ギターのセバスチャン木村さんと私、昭和27年生まれトリオ、 『The 27 times 3』というバンド名で参加。『What a wonderful world』『Stand by me』の2曲を演奏せて頂きました。 このメンバーで、4月2日に『鴨蕎麦・七三一』での東北震災チャリティライブに参加します。
