I went to a noon hour concert today put on by a downtown church close to my office. The concerts are in the basement and the free series features various (mostly) classical performers from the Edmonton Musiciansapos; Association. This year is the thirtieth season of the concert series.

�

I sat in the back, and at some point as the harp lulled me into peaceful contemplation I realized as I looked at the back of the heads in front of me that I was seeing�a lot of long grey hair mdash; a lot of long stylishly cut�grey hair.

�

I was in Boomersville. (No relation to *Boomtown* although this is Alberta)

�

Yup. The place was full of boomers, swaying to the celtic sounds. It was also full of their parents mdash; the people who still strive for good posture and good manners. I could only spot one other person who looked with certainty to be under fifty.

�

I felt a sudden wave of goodwill towards these boomers and their parents. (Which I havenapos;t always,�being someone who has lived in the vacuum of their wake) It was the boomers who created the many�music and arts�fests that liven up our summers every year. At least here in Edmonton, it is the boomers who volunteer at many different arts�events. They stand up for human rights and want new Canadians to feel at home. They embrace a multicultural Canada and try in their own way to�broaden their kidsapos; horizons. They�take the family�to authentic�ethnic restaurants and encourage their children�to volunteer at the museums and concert halls. They stand up for heritage buildings that are getting the knock to make way for new stucco condos. In other words, they are trying to make a difference. Still.

�

And, I realized with a catch, they are getting old. Just look at all this grey hair. Some of it with a burgundy dye job, some of it cleverly cut to show off hand-made dangly silver earrings. Some of it sitting on shoulders wrapped in chunky wool sweaters. Some of it�receding and some of it gone.

�

The tempo is beginning to slow. The light is getting thinner out there.

�

Whoapos;s going to come after them and keep it all going?�Maybe their kids. I just donapos;t know.
