Is this sign of getting old?


When I was young in 1970’s, I was a fan of Carpenters, Classical music like Mozart’s requiem, Dvorak’s Cello Concerto and Fritz Wunderlich’s singing "Dichiterliebe" by Schumann.

On the other hand, I had no love for Elvis which I found too rugged.

But during last 2 years, I had been fascinated by Elvis voice.

"Are you lonesome tonight" really touch my mind especially since my wife is not at home to take of her 88 years old mom.

I still like Carpenters, Classical music but add Elvis on top of it.

If you liked Carpenters back in the '70s then you were old back then.  You've plateaued over the last 50 years.  Your fascination with Elvis is merely an indication that your musical taste gland is starting to further deteriorate.
Interesting!

What an oddball I am! I must be the Benjamin Button of audio fandom!

I started my adventure in my pre-teens listening to my parent's 78's of Johnny Mathis, Frank Sinatra, Mel Torme, The Platters, etc.

Elvis and the Beatles were a staple because...well...it's Elvis and The Beatles! 

Had some awesome music teachers who turned me on to classical during my teens - 7th grade music class we listened to Switched on Bach...and Tommy!

It wasn't until I approached my 50's that I started appreciating the music of my youth Hard Rock and Hair bands.

Now I just listen to everything!

Fun read!

Thanks Guys
The older I get the better I have become at appreciating an increasingly broader range of music.
