Patricia Kennealy-Morrison is long regarded as one of the Founding Mothers of rock journalism, helping to create the genre that changed the face of the music that shaped the sixties and seventies. As the editor of Jazz & Pop Magazine, Ms. Kennealy-Morrison reviewed that music and met the musicians who became a generation's icons.

And now, years later, she's sharing those memories by republishing her original articles. And we, the readers, can view those moments in time in her unique perspective. For those of us who were there, it's a chance to remember an amazing time. For those who weren't, it's a chance of a lifetime -- to find out what it was really like.
