Is this sign of getting old?

Interesting thread, as I am 70 and my listening tastes have expanded, yet I still embrace the songs of my youth.

I love old blues, yes I have John Lee Hooker and Howling Wolf on the playlist in my car.

Yet I have found Eva Cassidy, Chris Issac and Michelle Shocked to add to Brubeck and a wide range of symphonic music to my listening repertoire.

All that said, I am still a Duane Allman guy and early Allman Brothers Band fan.  Just bought a 6 CD set of their performances over 4 days at the Fillmore East.  A must have for a junkie like me.

Age gives perspective and also allows one to venture into new places.  I love turning my nephews on to new old music like Tull or Hocus Pocus by Focus.

I appreciate others finding Sinatra or Count Basie as their journey continues.  One thing I miss from my youth is sharing interesting “new” music with my friends.  Many bands were discovered in sessions of sharing music back in the day.

I love it.  As I edge close to pulling the plug I keep asking that very question over and over, but I am pleased to say that my listening habits have increased with the new upgrades to the sound system.  

Listening to a couple of Claude Bolling duet LPs tonight and they are jumping out at me!  Spectacular.  Does he have a box set someplace?

If you like Duane Allman, listen to him on "Loan Me A Dime" ---The album version. Pure bliss.

Big_greg you should try to get to one of the “Jeff Lynne’s ELO 2019 concert tour dates. I got to see them last week and it really opened up my eyes. It helped to have floor seating in the center. 

Shkong, if you’d been doing the opposite, and just learning to appreciate classical music I’d concur you’re getting older. As it is, learning to like Elvis at a more advanced age might put you in the same bracket as Brad Pitt’s character in "The Curious Case of Benjamin Button", living his life in reverse. 

I attributed my recent enjoyment of a Shostakovitch recording to a new stereo system, rather than considering my impending dotage as the reason, which may be a more likely scenario.

Still like Howlin’ Wolf though.
