leeneia said in the original post, "This is a post about a song and about a person's changing musical perspective".

and "
Anybody else have any thoughts or memories to share about changing musical reactions?"

I went a bit off-topic because I was referring to the music I listened to as a child and how it influenced my musical appreciation over the years, so I wasn't talking about changing musical reactions so much as enduring musical reactions. I still get that thrill listening to some of those old songs that I first heard on a car radio 60 years ago.
