You’re writing about REAL music.. Today’s noise bears no resemblance to what is called “music.”

My family had a Victrola given to us by an uncle when his wife passed away. I was just a kid but his wife must have been the music lover in the marriage. That grand old man lived to 105 and his sister to 107 - they had no children.It came with a LOT of 78 records and we played every single one of them for years growing up. We moved it from PA to our home in NY state. My family loved to sing - around a piano my sister played and on car trips.

I find appalling by “WHAT” appears on stage today for millions of dollars - barely clothed...and everyone knows WHO I’m talking about. Even worse was the future King of England taking his two oldest children to one of “the” concerts recently.. Who in their right mind would want their children entertained by someone who has to flaunt her body to grab a crowd’s attention? Yes - I’m an old fuddy duddy and I wouldn’t have it any other way. I grew up in a different time.

We had our great female singers in the ‘40’s (Andrews Sisters, Jo Stafford and not so old Anne Murray) and none had to appear practically nude for us to enjoy their talent. The only who was semi-nude was Esther Williams - LOL.

Right now I’m listening to beautiful music by the pianist John Arpin...THAT’S music!!!
