What music means to me 1
June 10th 2010 13:42
When most people are asked to talk about why the music they play means a lot to them, they generally connect certain songs to specific times they have lived through - maybe a song shared with a lover or danced to with a hunky dude at a long-lost disco, or a dead brother’s fav track - me, well….
My musical history dates back to the early seventies - at which time I played a few current 'hits' and danced in the lounge before school with a friend. (The Wombling Song, stuff from The Seekers, 70's ballads, etc…)
Until my teens, I did not listen to much after those couple of years. At this time, I once again broke into music - appreciating nothing modern and new, but artists such as Glenn Miller, Bing Crosby, Gene Kelly, and Val Doonican. In the 80's, I began to enjoy 70's music - especially ballads…
Life went on and musically my tastes changed once again. This time, it is easier to work backwards from today's favs into my past, however. My current interest in the SF music scene needs a little explaining, perhaps - unless you lived through it's generation with me.
