[Gay State Conservative]

Thanks largely to my local public library "consortium" and the magic of CD-Rs I've amassed a music library of about 5,500 songs.About 90% are from the 60's,5% from the 50's,3% from the 80's and the rest from other times.

My collection is mainly pop/rock...but also includes classical,country and "easy listening" (my parents' music) and instrumentals (from the 50's/60's).

There hasn't been a single song that I've heard released in the last 15-20 years that's worth a damn thing IMO (except "Gangnam Style" and "Happy").

As a result I haven't bought any music in decades.People like me just might be part of the reason why hip hop is now selling more than rock.

I have more than 1,000 78 rpm discs and about the same number of 45’s and Lp’s. I used to record them onto cassettes until my 1982 Radio Shack Clarinette turntable died and I traded in my 2000 Ford Taurus with its cassette player. However, I am now amassing a collection of Youtube recordings that I convert to MP3’s via a number of free sites on the Internet. These can be loaded onto a USB flash drive and played in the car.
