@tyray , LOL!  I didn't shoot you those old Jim Croce lyrics because I thought you were a 70 YO 'boomer; I just thought, after reading your last post, that you might appreciate the sentiment.  

@devinplombier , funny that you should mention  Billie Eilish.  A few years ago I made a friend on another audio forum (a forum  that I never go to anymore) and he is not someone who I would imagine liking Billie Eilish.  A while back ago we touched base about some music and some vacuum tubes, and he recommended her to me.  I almost forgot about that.

@devinplombier

That you mention Billie Eilish, I think she is in a category all her own, to me...The only other person I can think of that even comes close to her writing skills at such a young age is her brother...

And her singing, I don’t think she knows how good she is, yet...Her phrasing is crazy...

I like what Sza does too. She kinda reminds mey of a thinking woman’s Josephine Baker...If one can imagine that.

Oh! @immatthewj you were referencing @8th-note...My bad! 

Actually, @tyray , the Jim Croce lyrics that I posted came to my mind after I read your post

@immatthewj, I had older sisters too! I remember my father getting my ’big baby sister’ a small 45 rpm record player for her birthday I think, and believe or not, my Dad got a policeman he knew to cord off with wooden horses right in front of the house in the middle of the street so she could have a ’sock hop’ for her as that’s what she wanted! Amazing, you got that memory out of me! I couldn’t’ have been more than 5 years old. That 45 rpm record player was the one first in the neighborhood that any young person had got and he made a way for her to have a blast of a time! Wow! I think those positive thoughts made my blood pressure go down some! And yes it was that same sister that got me Yeah, yeah she loves you too a host of other Beatle records as the years went by.

and truly, nothing negative was meant to be implied.
