I like some "Easy Listening" but prefer what is usually called classical music.
Bach, Beethoven, Brahms. You know that long haired (never understood that)
high brow stuff.

Dr. Daniel Amen, who is a well-renouned and leading researcher on the brain, teaches that music by such composers as Bach are good for the brain's continued growth and fight against/avoidance of dementia and Alzheimer's Disease. He says it doesn't even have to be listened to with concentration, but simply as background music.

Did you dig disco music, too, and go to clubs for dancing and socializing? That was the entire NYC scene during the 70's and into the 80's, replete with "elephant-bells" and 29" (max) waists, tall shoes (my euphemism for them ) and long hair or "Afros" for some....

Hey Mitch, Is all this too old for you?...

The only "elephant-bells" that I ever wore were on my U.S.Navy dress uniform; Gaberdines, custom made for me by Harry's Hong Kong Tailors. Even at that, they were only 22" bells....!

Those were the REAL bell-bottoms/elephant-bells, as dignified as it ever got. So very nice to learn you were in the Navy, Mitch.

Disco still sucks.

If I may ask, Tom, did you think that at the time, way back when?

We understand life looking backwards; we live life moving forward.

Even more vehemently than I do now, it put a lot of local musicians out of business, and seemed to me to be aimed primarily at the uber self indulgent amongst us. Not to mention most of that genre makes garage rock seem positively complex. Donna Summer was a great talent, wasted on the content she was presented with, but there were others who also had to struggle with the same issues. And Average White Band's version of Cut the Cake is my second favorite.

Good session.

I saw a documentary called Young@Heart about some folks who got seniors performing in a band. They did covers of Hendrix and Ramones tunes, among others.

Yes, indeed. Music is good for us, good for our brains and our blood pressure and for relaxation. But we knew all that , didn't we.

I spent most of the afternoon with Bach, harpsichord and pipe organ mainly; with a little Elgar and Franko for a change of pace.

Aaahhh , Bach. When our pastor put my wife and me in charge of hiring a new organist, I had one simple request of each candidate: play Bach's Toccata & Fugue in D Minor. The final candidate, literally, pulled out all the stops, and thundered away on our Peragallo pipe organ, trembling the church and blowing thru our hearts and minds. I'm not sure we ever touched the ground, throughout. To me, the piece is the epitome of civilization, in all its very best glory.
She was hired on the spot.

I'm impressed that you have an organist that can play that.
I'm more impressed that you have an organ upon which it can be played.
And that you have the kind of church structure in which it can be played.
Now if you tell me that she is also good looking and built like a four rank organ-----

She is a mature woman of pleasant stature.

Look at the extent of that surrounding forest! How come we never heard of a zillion bears marauding through the grounds and sniffing thru the dining room as lunch was being served?! Huh? Huh?

The bears were on the menu.
