Right you are again. I was raised properly by a good mother, also, and I tried to be a good mother to my children.
When my grandsons visit, as they did last week, I have them on a consistent schedule with real meals, a bath time, and a bed time. Children feel more secure when they are raised with a routine.
I swear, you go in there, and you are confronted with a thumping rock and roll or rap music soundtrack. Thump Thump Thump
I'm amazed at how many businesses play popular songs from decades go--and not just the top 50 "oldies" that everybody knows, but hits that have long been forgotten and misses that have become collector's items.
Yesterday while shopping, I heard the Eldorados' 1955 hit At My Front Door. And at the Sizzler restaurant, I almost fell over when I heard My Mamma Told Me (1963), an obscurity by Barbara Lewis that I figured only collectors would know about.
Exactly!
You couldn’t even house break a dog without a routine!
Yet some people think they can bring a child home from the hospital and carry it around everywhere and at all hours just like a hand bag.
My music presets on Sirius XM are “50’s on 5,” on which about half of the songs are actually from the ‘60’s, “40’s on 4,” and “Willy’s Roadhouse,” which features vintage country/western tunes. I wish they had a ‘20’s station.
Classical music flows logically while rap “music” is just noise.
GOOD classical music celebrates the best that Man can create in the arts. It is immortal Art, not the throwaway sonic pollution of today. It is complex and profound and occasionally requires concentration to derive its utmost value. Contrast that with the feral thuds and hollow word goop of today’s pop scene.

Yup. At the store I worked at they played latino and African American music. NO COUNTRY or classical. LOL There was one song where the girl was whining at the highest pitch that whenever it came on (had to listen to the same crap over and over) I wanted to shoot the speakers.
“I wish they had a ‘20’s station.”
I can’t help you with Sirius, but there is tons of 20’s music on YouTube and wwww.archive.org. I just downloaded everything recorded by Paul Whiteman from archive.org!
Classical music calms the soul. My nephew tells a story about when his three kids were little, he and his wife decided to play classical music at dinnertime. The kids always remained well behaved during the meal when this music was played. One night his wife forgot to turn on the music and his three-year old boy asked him, “Daddy, can we have some popcycle music again tonight?”
Another thing that calms people is candlelight (a bit off the subject, but true)
I like classical music but cannot remember the names of the composers (their foreign) or the title of the songs (too long in B minor).
They needed to have names like “Yummy yummy yummy I got love in my tummy”
Funny post. :-)
