Is this sign of getting old?

When I was young in 1970’s, I was a fan of Carpenters, Classical music like Mozart’s requiem, Dvorak’s Cello Concerto and Fritz Wunderlich’s singing "Dichiterliebe" by Schumann.

On the other hand, I had no love for Elvis which I found too rugged.

But during last 2 years, I had been fascinated by Elvis voice.

"Are you lonesome tonight" really touch my mind especially since my wife is not at home to take of her 88 years old mom.

I still like Carpenters, Classical music but add Elvis on top of it.

I thought you were going to say that you had hair growing out of your ears!  Elvis has left the building!

No. As you get older and retire you have lots more time on your music. With marriage kids soccer track etc how much time do you have for music. Very little. Since my retirement my music listening prob up 1000 %. I feel it is just matter of not having time. I now listen to the good classical and listen to dozens of artists I never had time for.

If you liked Carpenters back in the '70s then you were old back then.  You've plateaued over the last 50 years.  Your fascination with Elvis is merely an indication that your musical taste gland is starting to further deteriorate.
