My mother greatly influenced my taste in music and she would sing many songs from her youth. I grew up with a love for old train songs and tear jerkers. When developing a taste for more modern music I gravitated
toward Johnny Cash and John Allen Cameron rather than Elvis or Dylan. The problem is that "the old stuff" sung now in nursing homes is contemporary to me and I'm in my early 60's so I guess Snoop Dog is what lays in store. Scary!
