[speaker001:] favorite type of music or musician or any.
[speaker002:] I don't really have a favorite type. I like, uh, a lot of different types of music.
[speaker001:] Do you?
[speaker002:] Yeah, I have a, a tape collection that I like to listen to, uh, cassette tapes
[speaker001:] Uh-huh.
[speaker002:] but it's pretty varied.
[speaker001:] Uh-huh.
[speaker002:] Yeah. How about you?
[speaker001:] Oh, I, I'm very, uh, I'm very varied as well. I, uh, I don't think I've ever met a type of music I don't like except for, uh, maybe, you know, heavy metal and that.
[speaker002:] That's exactly me. The acid rock or the heavy metal.
[speaker001:] Yeah.
[speaker002:] Even some of that I like okay
[speaker001:] Yeah.
[speaker002:] but not, mostly, as a general rule, I don't care for that at all.
[speaker001:] Yeah. I don't enjoy rap too much, either. That, that doesn't appeal to, uh, my ears.
[speaker002:] Well, as far as the rap goes, I think there are a few artists that appeal to me
[speaker001:] Uh-huh.
[speaker002:] themselves
[speaker001:] Uh-huh.
[speaker002:] and I like some of their songs.
[speaker001:] Oh.
[speaker002:] But as, as I agree, with the general rule, I, I wouldn't choose rap either.
[speaker001:] Uh-huh.
[speaker002:] But I, I like to listen to, uh, what you might call pop, easy listening
[speaker001:] Uh-huh.
[speaker002:] country western, jazz [LAUGHTER]
[speaker001:] Uh-huh.
[speaker002:] uh, classical, um, I, I don't, I like, uh, like I said, pretty varied, uh, music.
[speaker001:] Uh-huh.
[speaker002:] I have a couple that my husband really hates
[speaker001:] Oh [LAUGHTER].
[speaker002:] [LAUGHTER] that I listen to,
[speaker001:] [LAUGHTER].
[speaker002:] like Billy Holiday I really love to listen to her,
[speaker001:] Uh-huh.
[speaker002:] and, uh, I even have a, a tape of Lady Smith Blackman Bazo [LAUGHTER]
[speaker001:] Oh, gosh.
[speaker002:] and, well, I mean, they're very harmonic
[speaker001:] Uh-huh
[speaker002:] they really are.
[speaker001:] uh-huh, yeah, sure.
[speaker002:] So, they're interesting to listen to. You might try that. How about you?
[speaker001:] Well, um, I listen to, uh, specific, most, most likely I would be listen to, uh, jazz or classical music. Um [throat clearing], I, in college I took, uh, four years of classical guitar, and I played in the, in the jazz combo all four years. I play guitar
[speaker002:] Oh, yeah?
[speaker001:] for the jazz combo. So, uh, [throat clearing] that's where my two, my two listening enjoyments are, but, you know, jazz can get on my nerves after a while. Uh, you can't just listen to it, you know, to, uh, especially a lot of the deeper stuff, you just can't listen to it for enjoyment unless you're. *slash error
[speaker002:] It's too, um, uh, you have to concentrate on it, it seems.
[speaker001:] Yeah, unless, unless you're playing it, *sv it just, it just doesn't do anything.
[speaker002:] [LAUGHTER] What about the blues or something like that?
[speaker001:] Uh, uh, blues are okay. I, I tell you, I do like, um, I grew up on blue grass music. My dad is a big blue grass fan, and so
[speaker002:] Uh-huh.
[speaker001:] um, [throat clearing] I wouldn't have admitted it when I was in high school but,
[speaker002:] [LAUGHTER].
[speaker001:] [LAUGHTER] I really do like it a lot. [sniffing] So.
[speaker002:] I, I like some of it, um, as far as like the cou-, what they now call country western, it doesn't sound like the old country music at all, does it? *two utts??
[speaker001:] No, it doesn't, it doesn't.
[speaker002:] Um, some of it sounds more like pop music.
[speaker001:] Yeah, uh [sniffing], they've all got, you know, the real screechy electric guitars now.
[speaker002:] Oh, n-, yeah, I don't care for that. *slash error
[speaker001:] Yeah.
[speaker002:] If I'm going to listen to today's country western, I have tapes of like Randy Travis and Clint Black and
[speaker001:] Uh-huh.
[speaker002:] I even liked Jim Reeves
[speaker001:] Uh-huh.
[speaker002:] you know
[speaker001:] Yeah, I, I, yeah, I grew up on him. *slash error
[speaker002:] or, uh, what, what Merle Haggard
[speaker001:] Uh-huh.
[speaker002:] and Faron Young
[speaker001:] Uh-huh.
[speaker002:] that type of country western is
[speaker001:] Sure.
[speaker002:] what I, I like to listen to. Asleep At The Wheel. *all caps for titles
[speaker001:] Uh-huh.
[speaker002:] Uh, Sons of the Pioneers, you know, stuff like that. *all caps for titles
[speaker001:] Uh-huh. Yeah.
[speaker002:] Um, oh, I like sound tracks a lot.
[speaker001:] Oh, do you?
[speaker002:] Yeah, it seems like you get a lot of original music that way.
[speaker001:] Yeah, you sure do.
[speaker002:] I mean, you know, think about like the Twin Peaks and stuff like that
[speaker001:] Uh-huh, uh-huh.
[speaker002:] that's just real recent
[speaker001:] Yeah.
[speaker002:] things like that I like to listen to. Um, I like instrumental things.
[speaker001:] Uh-huh.
[speaker002:] Um, I have some Spiro Gyro tapes.
[speaker001:] Oh, they're great aren't they.
[speaker002:] Oh, they're wonderful.
[speaker001:] Yeah.
[speaker002:] I love them. I have some dulcimer music. I mean, like I said, that, that's pretty varied.
[speaker001:] Yeah, it sure is, yeah.
[speaker002:] Al Jarreau, he's somebody I like. He's pretty, kind of jazz inspired but
[speaker001:] Uh-huh.
[speaker002:] but still kind of pop, too.
[speaker001:] Yeah, I like his, he has a nice smooth voice.
[speaker002:] Oh, yeah, and, you know, what I like the most about him, is, I've gone to see him in concert, {C and } he always, he looks like he's having fun.
[speaker001:] Yeah, sure.
[speaker002:] I mean, some people sing, and they have their faced all contorted,
[speaker001:] [LAUGHTER].
[speaker002:] like it hurts them or something [LAUGHTER].
[speaker001:] [LAUGHTER].
[speaker002:] But he looks like he's having a good time. I mean, he's up there moving around and smiling like he's happy
[speaker001:] Uh-huh.
[speaker002:] and, and like all he wants to do is, is make the audience enjoy it, too.
[speaker001:] Sure.
[speaker002:] And he, he is real fun to listen to.
[speaker001:] Uh-huh.
[speaker002:] Um, Bonnie Rait, I like her a lot.
[speaker001:] Uh-huh.
[speaker002:] Um, in fact, whenever she won her big Grammy
[speaker001:] Uh-huh.
[speaker002:] I think it was like five of them or something
[speaker001:] Uh-huh.
[speaker002:] was, was it five, or.
[speaker001:] Yeah, something like that, it was last, last, last year wasn't it.
[speaker002:] Yeah, last year or the year before, I can't remember, but, um, I was listening to a particular radio station and, and the one D J said, who the heck is Bonnie Rait and why does she deserve five Grammies?
[speaker001:] [LAUGHTER].
[speaker002:] Well, I vowed then that I was not going to listen to that [LAUGHTER] radio station any more, if that D J can make such a unedu-,
