Revisiting some music from the past ...


I rarely start posts.  

After a few days of Quora and Taylor Swift and Billie Eilish questions, I 'realized' or better said 'accepted' or better said 'ranted' that ... 

'Rock music is dead for the most part. Music has morphed into something else. It is totally unrecognizable to Baby Boomers and Generation X’ers.  No one listens to radio. No one owns a stereo. No one purchases physical music.  IT AIN’T THE SAME ANYMORE!'


Now that I got that out of my system (rightly or wrongly), I do feel better when I am posting about music and staying away from the posts about component X being better than component Y.   

For this Sunday morning, two videos of 'older' music that still sound good to these ears ...

Roy Orbison - Live on BBC (1975)

Ricky Nelson & Fats Domino in Concert.  They perform together around the 46 minute mark.

warning - generalization ahead - 

I do think the Americana performers make better recordings than a lot of pop/rock acts, I imagine this is due to their audience and how they procure and listen to music these days.  Music that is more dance orientated also generally sounds better to me than music you're likely to hear on the radio or similar, and I'd guess for the same reason.
