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 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.

@sleepwalker65 I saw them on June 28 in Tacoma. I had great seats on the floor also. One of my favorite shows ever!
