Comments: Reply · 1 Adm. Arthur LeDock 5 days ago I recall when Terry Jacks released his version and it became an anthem of sorts for his seniors at the time. It was a song that was us remembering our younger days and that we would all be going (most of us) our separate ways. Some to different colleges, the military and so on. It became a precious and cherished memory holder - that being said. Meeting Rod McKuen (early 1980s) started me into the real version as I discovered amongst his writings. I also have his recorded version which I believe is a well done version by the man who wrote it (lyrics.) Why must we diss him - he wrote it folks! Now for the Kingston Trio - a great folk group (mainly) did a terrific version of this with the faithful rendition of the words. Folks this is not like, oh, say: Stairway To Heaven - I mean who could really top the Zeppers doing that. This is about a song performed differently for different reasons. Read why Terry jacks did his version lyrically, Rods version is from his soul and they are HIS words. A gift from him to us - thank you, sir! Others can, have and will do this song some will be good some may not be. Me, I enjoy them all - thank you and may peace, love and happiness be with you all!
