Has your taste in music changed?

I'm ages older than e.g. colurbook and Reyn (two, in two weeks even three ), and I like, like others, the music I heard when I was young.

I must admit, though, that
- at the age of 16 I became a Dixie/New Orleans Jazz fan (attended my first Jazz concert in an English pub than, have collected now some hundred cd's),
- I now even like the music I thought to be "girlish" (Herman Hermits, for example) then,
- and that I'm still fond of good old Rock'n Roll.

Pan, I've never heard of him, but my mom has, she liked him.

I only know Carl Perkins

That's o.k. Walter...we still love you.

Both Luther(as Cash's guitarist) and Carl Perkins are considered pioneers in Rockabilly guitar styles.

The last two resonses made me happy again. Thanks :wink:

not really, i'm always being exposed to new music, but my musical tastes have always been very diverse

Hmmm.................As a kid I grew up with the ballad singers, Tony Bennett, Frank Sinatra, Eddie Fisher. In my twenties I was turned on to classical music, a genre I love to this day. I am nuts for disco, and like to workout to soft rock, the heavier the back beat, the better.

I'm really showing my age here, but I remember going to a Johnny Cash concert (one of the few I've ever gone to) here in Vancouver around 1973, or so. I remember being quite impressed. He had a long, illustrious career.


I also enjoy classical guitar music. There are some very talented people around. Do you like this, too?


Yeah, the Dixieland stuff is a lot of fun, too. I had forgotten about that. thanks for reminding me!


Phoenix, are you familiar with a fellow that we have here from Montreal called Michael Bublé? He's a young fellow, doing quite well I feel, that's following in their footsteps. I love his work.

Reyn- No, I have never heard of Michael Buble. I'll have to check him out!

Listened to a couple of clips on Amazon. Sounds good!

My favorite new voices for male vocals are Josh Groban, his version of "O Holy Night" is outstanding.(i listen to that song all year, not just xmas time)

Andrea Bocelli, his duet with Sarah Brightman in "Time To Say Good Bye" does me in.

Mario Frangoulis. I have to recommend a song by him, "Sometimes I Dream" this is a must listen, it sends me.

I went through a heavy Andrea Bocelli enthusiasm. He made me cry. It was about the time I moved up here and lived in my wild tract house, that I got for almost free, to keep it warm, that one month. (It sold just after I unpacked and hung my paintings and started cooking, to the first people who had looked at it, with a 30 day escrow, gulp. I then .. moved to the house they left, before I moved to my own. What a weird five months).

Anyway, when I was at a goodby luncheon for me at a friend's house in the Palisades, Andrea Bocelli was enchanting the roomful of us girlfriends. I went out and bought it, the Romanza cd, and in this new rental put it on to play when my business partner and her husband came over to dinner. Full blast. She also loved it. Two tearing women, with one guy who really knows classical music rolling his eyes.

I played it several times that month there in that atriumed house in the sequoia grove...
We still play it (or it is one of the three oldie but goodies) we play while we are hanging painting shows.

However, I have since cottoned on to the fact that he is no opera singer, he is a pop singer. Still, the voice moved me, and still does, if I don't hear it too often.

Callas, la Divina 2, there you go...

Buble is the best.
I remember in particular Vivaldi's concertos for guitar and lute...got me learning classical guitar.

How's it going with the lessons? Are you good? :wink:

I can play some Bach guitar pieces,but I switched to the bass and don't play my classical much anymore.
