The vast treasure trove of music out there.

Recently had an ER experience. I guess, I'm ok, just getting older and slower. And thankful for the bodily functions that still function.
Still, now as I listen to Perlman and Zuckerman playing Mozart duos, I realize how I've really just begun to chart the territory of wonderful music after 44 years of critical listening to all kinds of music.
What could I say about this? Would I want to give my top 100, 200, 500? I guess, we are extremely lucky. We have all this great music of the past available.
When I was a kid I despised big band and stuff like Mario Lanza. With a bit of aging I can relate to some of the magic there.
I'm at a bit of low point, right now with the state of digital flux, etc with the attendant bull from magazines, reviewers and advertisers.
Still I don't curse CDs because of the wonderful reissues which have emerged. Not just the rock stuff of my youth,but the treasures of the previous LP (50's) and 78 eras.

I empathize with and appreciate your post. I hit the "Big 6-0" several months ago, but, blessed as I've been with good health, a great-and understanding-wife, and 2 wonderful kids (Well, not such kids anymore, at ages 22 & 17), I think I'm enjoying music more than ever, especially since I was recently able to upgrade my system to a point I never thought it would reach. You're right about the plethora of CD reissues, which are more than welcome in spite of the knowledge that the big companies do this because it's a lot cheaper than issuing new. We too often dwell, I think, on the negatives and I for one want to try to avoid this going forward. Amazing isn't it, how much easier it seems to be to carp about the bad stuff than to celebrate the positives?
And there ain't but seven notes to use. - Poindexter 22:52:05 05/26/02 (0)
Or eleven, depending on how you figure it.
Good call, Nig,
