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.

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.

We're all getting old. It's about the journey, not the destination.
