As I get older I find myself increasingly drawn to the music my parents and grandparents listened to and enjoyed, yes, even Lawrence Welk and Slim Whitman (Mr. Whitman seems like such a nice man singing nice, inoffensive songs). And like some pop stars as they grew older (Rod Stewart, Dylan), I have a greater affinity for what have been called the American Standards of the 30's to 50's, as well as swing and big band leaders. Anyway, that's the kind of stuff I'm listening more to of late, neglecting the country western, bluegrass, and classical music that has made up most of my collection and listening time in the past. A positive aspect of this change is the great number of such albums one still finds in thrift stores and lp bargain bins.
