Today's pop music is mostly stale and formulaic. No wonder there's a thirst for something different musically. In the late sixties / early seventies...before radio stations really knew how the world was going to shake out, there was all kinds of music on the radio, from Burt Bachrach to the Jefferson Airplane to James Brown. And even if we didn't admit it, we were hearing it all. In this age of MP3's it's not so hard to find the songs of my youth and mix them all in with Blues, rock, standards, classical, bluegrass, big band and jazz (still not crazy about rap or opera!). The kids are listening too. Good music can live on forever. And like Count Basie said' "if it sounds good, it is good".
