well uh if you had to pick a a type of music that you like would you be able to
well i could pick country music
country music
i
as i've gotten older i've started listening more to the words of music and to the softer melodies
uh
uh are you from Texas
not originally
not originally where you from
Georgia
Georgia okay well see i'm i'm from Chicago so
uh i'm kind of in a different category here uh
if you had to pick one what would you choose
uh i would probably go with it's tough uh
i think i would just stick with the classics only because uh
i like music just for music's sake and
uh you know i'm from the era where you know we had all the rock and roll i'm forty so i'm you know part of that whole deal and uh
that was a real interesting time and you know the music sort of made the whole time very rich with sound uh
but i think i'd stick back with my Beethoven and my Bach and my Mozart
i mean because it's just it will always be there it's classic and i don't have to worry about you know what's current and what's not because i haven't been current with music for a long time but you know same
um and as far as country music is i've never really uh listened to it i mean because that's just it was it wasn't part of what i knew so
there you go
well i understand what you're saying i think if you would listen to it a little you would discover that it has a lot of roots
from the both from the classics and from some of the rock and roll of the era that that we both lived through
right yeah
i it's it's a different perspective on everything too i i know well whenever they talk about uh
uh
country music it's about it seems sad to me it's always about some guy losing some girl and then
you know playing the guitar and singing about it
well there's some joy in it also
but mostly it it just tells a story about life
yeah well i must say though uh i listen to Amy Grant do you consider her country
i don't know i'm not all that familiar with her work
uh uh let's see well name some people that are country that i should listen to
that would be good
well i kind of like uh
i like
groups
like the Statler Brothers
okay
and
the Judds certainly
oh okay i i must admit that's yeah they're fantastic so
uh
Reba McIntire is a little
uh
too country for me
she's something though she's got so much energy
the
that's true
let's see well i guess i i have
listened in on some of the stuff and not really realized it that i do like some of that uh Dolly Parton she's kind of is she kind of country
oh yes that's certainly where her roots are
kind of
right down there
um
uh how about the Oak Ridge Boys
very much so
very much okay well i like them too so i guess i've had a smattering and i just uh
you know picked i've picked up a little bit along the way that i probably wouldn't have if i'd stayed up north you know
that's true
you know so well i think there's music all around anyway i mean i think life is just music so you know you can hear it wherever you want and uh
and i've i've kind of shied away from some of the new stuff because i just don't understand it but maybe twenty years from now they'll look at it as classic rock and roll which i really like so
well it's just difficult for me to believe that anybody's ever going to make a a record of the rap songs of the eighties
yeah the greatest hits right yeah
yeah
yeah so i mean it it it'll if it stands the test of time we'll see
that's true
and uh then it'll if it survives then it'll just probably be one or two songs that sort of hey listen what we listened to can you believe this sort of thing but
yeah
uh you know i i think of i get real tickled when i listen to some of the old Beatle uh music you know the orchestration of it and that it's so popular still and
and uh you know all these rocks rock stations call it classic soft rock you know but we used to listen to it full blast
right
of course
yeah so it's kind of funny the way we listened to the stuff but i don't know well you got any more
well the big key is that i think you've already stated that all music is rooted in the classics and it has grown from there
well
that's
well listen i have to run i hate to cut this short
okeydoke well it was great yeah and we'll uh listen to some more music and uh i'll look at some country
all right
you bet
okay bye-bye
bye-bye
