Exclusive Stories



The 1960s music scene is one of the most interesting times in recent human history. There have been countless documentaries, books, television shows, and movies each attempting to capture and preserve a small piece. Here at A Bit Like You And Me, we’re contributing to the cause by collecting exclusive stories from people who were directly involved in the creative explosion occurring at the time. Some of the stories are funny; some of them are terrifying; but ultimately, they’re all entertaining memories coming straight from the people who lived them. I hope you’ll enjoy reading these stories as much as I’ve enjoyed gathering them.

If you or someone you know was a part of the music scene during the ‘50s, ‘60s, or ’70s and have a story to share, please visit our Contact page and send us an email. Our readers would love to hear from you!
