Is this sign of getting old?

There is no dark side of the moon really. Matter of fact, it´s all dark.

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.

Interesting!

What an oddball I am! I must be the Benjamin Button of audio fandom!

I started my adventure in my pre-teens listening to my parent's 78's of Johnny Mathis, Frank Sinatra, Mel Torme, The Platters, etc.

Elvis and the Beatles were a staple because...well...it's Elvis and The Beatles! 

Had some awesome music teachers who turned me on to classical during my teens - 7th grade music class we listened to Switched on Bach...and Tommy!

It wasn't until I approached my 50's that I started appreciating the music of my youth Hard Rock and Hair bands.

Now I just listen to everything!

Fun read!

Thanks Guys

The older I get the better I have become at appreciating an increasingly broader range of music.
