Older Music?

[Fangtasia]

I've been scouring the net looking for free music...was fun listening to music i havent heard for yonks

Anyway...i downloaded some (lots actually *LOL*) along the lines of

Patsy Cline
Paul Anka
Doris Day
Jim Nabors

And..while not as old...some older songs of

Dolly Parton (finally found Romeo..Woohooooo :D )
Bryan Adams
Ty Herndon
Vince Gill
Elvis

Anyone else like the older stuff? Not saying the new stuff isnt good too...but there's just something about the way back music

Wanna share who ya like?

When I was little I spent a lot of times with my wild grandma. She had an 8track player in the car but only 2 tapes Jim Nabors and Robert Goulet.

Jim Nabors has an excellent voice....i knew him as Gomer Pyle *LOL*....i remember my parents telling me he could sing...and i didnt believe em eh...how wrong i was

I grew up on Olivia Newton John, Bee Gees, Aerosmith, Ronnie Millsap, etc.. My brother is much older and demanded that I listen to Loggins and Messina, Simon and Garfunkel, Chicago, James Taylor, etc. My dad was in a country/bluegrass band, and my mom sang old Gospel.

My music preferences are about as far-reaching as they can get.

"older Music"?...I was THERE when that stuff was new...right now I should be listening to my favorite radio show, "Retro Lightning", but I would have to set myself up in the basement to pull the weak station in, & my back's too sore to do that...
I love this station anyway, it's very unique, lets me keep up with the best of what's new, while keeping a healthy respect for the classic rock (but not playing "Stairway to Heaven" or "Layla" 20 times per day)...I like the slightly more obscure tunes by the bands that not everybody heard of, or stuff the artists did BEFORE they got really popular...I dare say that most of you people don't even know that Fleetwood Mac (for example) released a lot of great albums before 1975, when Stevie Nicks & Lindsey Buckingham joined the group...I can never get too much of Bob Welch (their previous singer/guitarist) doing songs like "Hyponotized" or "Silver Heels"...

I just burned a stack of my "borrowed from the net" music to a dual layer 8.5 gig DVD.

My earliest track is a very poor 1890 wax recording of Lord Alfred Tennyson mumbling

about the Light Brigade and my latest is the latest Chilli Peppers.

Dean Martin and his contemporaries, Paul Robeson and soooooooo many others.

About 1700 tracks.

'borrowed from the net' *LOL*

I'm just starting the burning process....got one done...shitloads to go *LOL*

Thoght where i can i do try to buy the artists albums...nothing like having the original

[scotzoidman]

One of these days, when I get a little spare time (like that's ever gonna happen) I need to sit down with my massive collection of LPs, 45s, & reel to reel tapes, & set about digitizing them properly...LPs are alphabetized properly, of course, from Animals to Warren Zevon, but the tapes...OMG, the tapes...such a random mass of tracks "borrowed" from pals who could afford the albums & things recorded off the radio...oh, the humanity...

I love the older music, too, Sharni! I've got a collection of maybe 7-800 45s and maybe almost as many 33 rpms. Some reel to reel, but not qu8ite as much. With the demise of vinyl, I've found CDs with a lot of my really favorite songs/artists. Unchained Melody was probably my favorite song ever and, remarkable as it might seem, Elvis did a fantastic job on that song.

Dicksbro,

Have you heard Al Jolson's "Are you lonesome?"
