what kind of music do you like
well i i like uh i guess it would be easier to say tell you what kind i don't like i don't like hard rock
uh
but other than that i i like just about every kind i
i'm not real crazy about modern uh country and western i i like the old uh
uh country western songs that i grew up with uh
San Antonio Rose

oh now that i don't know
well see you're not as old as i am
either that or i didn't listen to Sons of the Pioneers i've heard about

no
no
well that she she
that was
i gather an old
cowgirl who used to
um-hum
sing songs like that
yeah and i i like the old Hank Williams songs
uh-huh uh-huh
but uh the modern kind it seems to me it all sounds just pretty much alike
pretty much like like rock
um yeah well
or or
or just too similar to each other
it's hard to tell one song from yeah it's hard to tell one song from the other
yeah yeah
too too be truthful with you i'm sort of a Beethoven and Bach fan
well i like all of that i like classical i when i look at my tapes it's hard to tell i like Celtic music i like classical

and uh uh
she gave me a tape uh of some Spanish music
oh what is that dance
with the ladies in the long dress and the fans

um
lady who said she would had always wanted to go and just play all of those percussion instruments that you see including the gong the big big gong

what
uh i've just been to the Meyerson one time and the first part was oh Schubert and you know the usual stuff and then there was this very modern day
uh-huh
piece that had no rhythm no tune and just sounded like a bunch of racket
uh-huh
and in the the middle of the stage was this box about oh four by four by four covered with black black what i have no idea
uh-huh
