Goes to show how old I am, but I am still very fond of rock 'n roll music from when I was young, the mid 50's to the mid/late 60's and a little beyond. On a positive note, and as one consolation for me, I am glad to see that my boys aged 23 and 21 like that kind of music very much too.

 

Don't know if that is an overall trend among youngsters in their late teens and early 20's.

 

I was and still am a quite capable guitar player, and not for one moment do I have a problem with what I really enjoy playing and singing.

You would think a guy my age would have settled into some definite choices but no. Here are some of the cds in my car:

Great Ladies of jazz (eg Dinah Washington, "I want to be around"

Miles Davis "Poetics of sound"

Jim Croce "Words and Music"

Ella Fitzgerald "The Cole Porter Songbook"

Loretta Lynn "All time greatest hits"

Rod Stewart "The great American Songbook"

Frank Sinatra "Fly me to the moon"

The Mommas and the Poppas "If you can believe your eyes and ears"

Hank Williams "Alone with his guitar"

Louis Armstrong and Duke Ellington

Charlie Byrd

Emmy Lou Harris

Bob Seeger

 

etc. Also, as sort of a joke, my wife got me a Little Richard cd. Back when rock concerts were really in dance halls with the performers a few feet from the audience, I was at a LR concert. I suppose I am getting old, but a little bit of "I saw Uncle John with Long Tall Sally, he saw Mary coming and he ducked back in the alley, oh baby, ooh ooh ooh oh baby" now seems to go a long way. In small doses it's still fine nostalgia.

 

Perhaps oddly, the local YMCA plays some interesting choices for background in the gym. Momma's got a squeeze box, Daddy never sleeps at night, for example.

Any Tangerine Dream fans in the BBO community? I have been following them for 30 years and gave seen them in concert quite a few times as well as owning 100+ CDs. I also listen to them when on the BBO site.

 

Sure. I prefer their music from the 70's, In my college days I got a lot of vinyl albums, classic TD records like Rubycon, Stratosfear, Phaedra, also their live albums from these days Ricochet and Encore... Froese/Franke/Baumann >>> the best TD line-up ever imo.
