As in a previous post, I described playing today at one of our bigger nursing homes.

An observation I neglected.

This nursing home I played for employs about about a half dozen young lady's that are students of mine during the school year...ages 15 - 19....super girls.

I think they really enjoyed hearing me play and sing...because they know and like me as a teacher.

However, did they relate to my music?

No, I don't think they did...but they could appreciate how my music related to the very seniors they care for. So, from that standpoint, they appreciated my music.

Another thought.

There seems to be so much emphasis on producing arrangers to make them contemporary to the younger generation. Note PA 4X vs 2.0 update.

Why?

Most of the younger generation I know seem to me to want to produce their own music with traditional instruments to produce their own sound....just like we did in the 60's.

Thoughts?
