What are you listening to right now?

It is on Sunday. 

When I was in elementary school (13 years old), I remember our teacher telling us that the music we liked right then would be the music we still liked when we grew up. She used herself as an example - she brought in a poster of The Who and told us why she liked them so much. To us, it was old-people music, but she was absolutely right! I have no patience for “different” or experimental stuff. I still prefer the 1970s music, no matter how bad people say it is. I do like more current music too, of course, but nothing beats the old stuff! 

Old is relative, isn’t it? For me, it’s the 1970s stuff - it was new at the time, and it’s old to me now. Obviously, music existed before then.

I liked the Beatles when I was a teen and still like them. But by the time I graduated from high school Classical music was my music of choice - started with Mendelson and exploded with Mozart and Vivaldi. Still prefer Mozart to anything else. Dan was always (nd currently still is) highly selective about the music he listens to when he was younger he listened to nothing except Gorden Lightfoot and Beethoven. And that's still his preference. Although he learned to like Springsteen. And since the pandemic struck he's had a thing for the Seekers.

We also "discovered" The Be Good Tanyas and even once flew to a concert of theirs in Ottawa because we loved their music soooo much!

Most of today's music isn't in my wheelhouse. I don't care for most of it. I'd rather sit in silence rather than listen to today's modern music. Most of the time if I do have music on I'd rather it be purely instrumental soft jazz.
