Switched Keys

Music is a nice diversion. When you talk about politics religion or business any disagreement is a source of contention even if you're not being contentious. When you talk about music everyone has their preference and most everyone else seems to respect it. That is unless it's the loud rap or hip-hop with boosted bass in the low-rider behind you.

I was born in the 50's so I obviously identify with the music of the 60's and 70's. That's to be expected. That's how musicians radio stations target their audience based on their age. They either use the music of the era or the style of the era.

To me it seems quite odd that people's musical tastes don't generally grow with age. They settle with a single music style. You won't find many 50 year olds enjoying alternative music like some of today's indie bands or punk rock. At least not like I do. I enjoy almost every style of music there is and really enjoy the new sounds.

Making music requires skill at any age but I really appreciate the creativity of young people. I can often identify with them too. After all I was once at that age and I can see what's happening in their lives today. And the energy passion. Closing out a musical style and the people that represent it is like not having both eyes open. It's like not tasting the new dish because you only want to eat peas and corn. You don't have to act like a teenager to like their music.

Well let me check on how Eisley is coming with their newest production. Oh and Happy Birthday Stacy belated.
