Damned, I must have been a different kind of kid. I really enjoyed listening to Glenn Miller, The Mills Brothers, etc..., and I still do. Does this mean I'm older than my parents? My parents really enjoyed the music of the 50s and 60s as well. When we had a bunch of neighborhood kids at the house, we fired up the record player, danced to Bill Haley, Bo Diddley, Little Richard, Elvis, and lots of great country singers as well. They never said turn the music down, and most of the time mom and dad served food and soda, and frequently joined in on the fun. Some of the best times were when some gifted guitar players in the neighborhood came over, fired up the amps and mics, played some good-ole' country songs, and some rock as well.

In retrospect, I sincerely believe that music will eventually come full circle, and while it probably will not happen in my lifetime, I anticipate that the era of the big bands will eventually return. I think I-Pods will become a thing of the past, the same as tape decks and records, though I have heard that records seem to be making somewhat of a comeback.

Cheers,

Gary
