oldies, I listen to the 40's station when I want to hear oldies. I consider anything from 1981 forward as new music. yet there is music being recorded today which is immediately recognizable as a classic, just as there always has been.
I wonder at times if the music of the late 1960s-mid 1970s will still be played and enjoyed two hundred years hence as much as the work of mozart, chaupin, et al is today?
I'm amazed that my 16 yr old asks me for CDs from my stash because he thinks the music is cool. when I was his age I had zero interest in my dad's music with the exception of a few tunes. I remember enjoying "in the mood" and ravel's bolero most of the stuff by the ink spots, billie holiday, beny moré perhaps a few others but mostly I was disinterested.
