We had mandatory classical music in school - and I had the same affection for it as Latin. (Same teacher).
I don’t regret my Elvis intoxication - so there!!!!!
However, with age comes a deeper appreciation of opera, orchestra and choral music.
Pop culture is such a misnomer.
I came of age in the 60's and listened to Top 40.Later,I started listening to albums of the great (and less famous) acts of the 60's...everything from Easy Listening to Hendrix and lots of stuff in between.However,I've been slowly developing an appreciation for certain classical/opera pieces.Cecilia Bartoli,for example.So now my music collection includes Hendrix,early Dylan *and* Rossini Heroines (Cecilia).
Funny you should mention Elvis. Just today my hubby found some old stamps he had collected about 100 yrs ago. He has some 195? Elvis stamps. What do you reckon those are worth? About face value?
