Thread Name: Have your tastes changed over the years?
Subject: RE: Have your tastes changed over the years?
Mr. Happy's 'yes...and no' is spot on for me.

I have been R&B'd and DooWopped to the point of tearing out what little hair I have. It is sad to see seventy year olds still singing those songs on PBS as if they were in a time warp. I was introduced to folk music with the popularization by the Kingston Trio about 1958/9; then from about the late 1970s thru the mid-nineties, I rarely listened to folk (related) music. And in the last half dozen years I have returned to Cowboy music with a vengeance. It's mostly what I buy now. I have never strayed far from classical music through it all.
