Rod McKuen takes me back

I was a student at UNI in the early 70’s.  The sound that takes me back, right there, was Rod McKuen. You know – he was a poet.  He did these amazing lyrics to the sounds of the sea.  I was introduced to McKuen by a friend named Bob. He had been to Viet Nam and worked in media operations there.  He had these large reel to reel tapes and we listened to them.
