Listening to the oldies
Today I found a television channel that displays photos of the music bands of the 50’s and 60’s while playing the popular songs from the era. That was the time I was growing up. The music of MY generation. I’ve been listening to the music all afternoon, singing along to every single song. Sitting at the dinner table, eating our dinner I told my wife “now THAT’S REAL music!” She just gave me a funny smile. When I asked her what was behind that funny smile she said “That’s what my parents used to say about the big bands like Glenn Miller and Lawrence Welk!” It’s hard to imagine in about twenty or thirty years ago our kids will be listening to songs like “Put a ring on it” and saying “now THAT”s REAL music!” (Although I have to admit I like that song!)
