LOL That's all the music my dad loved when he was in his 20s.

And his parents complained wildly about how bad it was compared to their music from the 40's/50's.

If he was still alive today I wonder if he'd approve of 'my' music.

I appreciate the songs of the '40s now more than I used to, they knew how to write melodies, harmonies, etc.. and could actually play their instruments. It all sounds dated now - mostly because of crude production techniques - but I certainly do appreciate it. The '50s - not so much.

I didn't watch the Grammys, but I know of Nora Jones and I appreciate her work, it kinda puts me to sleep, but she's the closest thing to actual songwriting goin' today. Can you tell the difference between her and say oh, Kanye West? People like Kanye West should not be getting any awards. He shouldn't even be recorded. He is a waste of time.

I had the same thing from my parents – until I found a 78 RPM of a song that had these inspiring lyrics :
Mare's eat oat's And Doe's eat oat's And Little Lamb's eat Ivy.
