“rather listen to Muzak than that”

Paul Simon said “if you hear one of your songs on an elevator, you’ve made it”

Dad was into beautiful music and easy listening music and we had the easy listening music radio channel on in the kitchen all the time, I got to where I enjoy it.

You can’t find it anymore on the radio so I got some CDs and YouTube helps.

I guess I like melodic music, heavily treated.

I lugged boxes of rock & roll vinyl around for decades (in my younger years). Loved those head-pounding sounds and the groups producing that stuff. As technology changed, the media got smaller and smaller until today...ALL of that music is on a thumbnail-size microSD card in the memory slot of my Android phone. If my phone dies...I just pull the card and go to the next phone.

All that being said, I hardly ever listen to the music on the card anymore. I just hit the Pandora icon and let it shuffle thru any of the 50 “stations” I’ve got lined up. And, I’ll confess, there’s a lot of easy-listening music on that list. Helen Jane Long, Ludivico Einaudi, Nick Cave & Warren Ellis, Clint Mansell & Kronos, Michelle McLaughlin, Stephen Moccio. Still love the rock & roll, still have the vinyl...but who knows what’s next in this life.

Del Shannon recounted that his mother loved hearing his massive hit "Runaway" when Lawrence Welk performed it.
