[speaker001:] yeah yeah well I was one of the forced ones
[speaker002:] but uh but I I'd just love to be able to go to a party or something and sit down at the piano and bang out music
[speaker001:] oh I could never do that I was never that brave but um yeah
[speaker002:] hm hm  but I guess the closest I've ever come to participating in music is singing in the choir
[speaker001:] yeah oh yeah I've I've done I've done that at church too haven't done that in a long time
[speaker002:] yeah yeah
[speaker001:] so let's see what well what kind of music do you not like

[speaker002:] huh-uh no no if I can't understand the words I don't wanna listen to it
[speaker001:] well it's it's it's not it's not music it's just it's just uh uh beat talking in a beat it is just it's not exciting at all it doesn't it doesn't give you relaxation you can't dance to it you can't do anything to it yeah
[speaker002:] yeah yeah yeah right but I and I love uh I look at the orchestra music too like the Boston Pops or or anything

[speaker002:] oh the music in that was fantastic
[speaker001:] I've I've heard I've heard that that is a really
[speaker002:] yeah
[speaker001:] I heard that was hard to get tickets to
[speaker002:] yeah it it uh I can't remember how far in advance we reserved tickets but it was out you know out at the State Fair Music Hall
[speaker001:] probably cost yeah yeah that was a real
[speaker002:] and uh it was well worth the price yeah
[speaker001:] was it I I bet it was I bet I really bet it was is that the only uh musical do you go see musicals musicals a lot of musicals
[speaker002:] yeah just just ever so often you know a real a real good one like that one and
[speaker001:] yeah the that that would be that would be nice
[speaker002:] we went and saw uh I think it was uh Sugar Babies that was good that had good music in it
[speaker001:] was it I how how I can't I don't know what that's about
[speaker002:] uh that was the one with uh Mickey Rooney and uh oh what's that real oh not real old uh well she is old too dancer um I can't think of her name I got it right on the tip of my tongue and can't say it Helen something
[speaker001:] uh oh oh I think I know who you're talking oh I know who you're talking talking about she's got black hair
[speaker002:] uh real long legs and dark hair
[speaker001:] yeah okay I know who your talking about I can't think of her name either yeah that was that was that was I remember that being uh here a few years ago
[speaker002:] I can't think of it yeah but uh
[speaker001:] oh oh the last country music my my parents still uh really like country music and they they like um they like the Oak Ridge Boys and the Stadler Brothers and
[speaker002:] yeah oh yeah yeah
[speaker001:] and uh well my my my my parents
[speaker002:] Blackwoods
[speaker001:] yeah my my husband likes uh country music real well and he he likes some of the new groups like Shenandoah and uh yeah he really likes Shenandoah
[speaker002:] yeah Alabama
[speaker001:] yeah oh yeah Alabama well yeah yeah Alabama I think they're I think they're a bit too over exposed I get kind of tired get tired tired of every other song being Alabama on the radio
[speaker002:] yeah but I yeah either Alabama or Hank Williams Junior
[speaker001:] oh I I I I've never cared for Hank Williams Junior
[speaker002:] I never neither and I never have figured out how he won the entertainer of the year for about three or four years in a row
[speaker001:] I oh we we watch those award shows too we like we enjoyed watching the country and the Grammies and stuff but I just I just don't care for him I just never have I don't
[speaker002:] yes yeah I guess probably my favorite all time country and western song or singer is uh probably Eddy Arnold
[speaker001:] is is it okay uh I I I think I I know who that is uh-huh I think my parents have have uh some of his records
[speaker002:] hm
[speaker001:] yeah um
[speaker002:] but I got about I've got about a hundred and or had a uh some uh I sold some of them I had about a hundred and fifty old seventy eight RPM records of country and western songs
[speaker001:] wow
[speaker002:] Smiley Burnette I don't know if you're old enough to remember him
[speaker001:] I've heard the name
[speaker002:] he was uh played in the old western movies he was the sidekick of Gene Autry I believe or they I think his name when in the movie was Froggy
[speaker001:] huh
[speaker002:] had had a real raspy voice
[speaker001:] I've I've never seen a Gene Autry movie hm
[speaker002:] and uh some of those old ones of course Bob Wills and his Texas Playboys and Ernest Tubbs and
[speaker001:] no I never have yeah
[speaker002:] Red Foley and
[speaker001:] yeah those go back quite a ways
[speaker002:] yeah I took them up here to Collectors Rector Records and was able to get a little money for them
[speaker001:] yeah
[speaker002:] but uh my mother mother and dad used to own a restaurant and they had a they had a uh nickelodeon of course in the restaurant and when they would come and change the records
[speaker001:] it's hard to find oh yeah yeah
[speaker002:] the guys would and the guy would give her the old records
[speaker001:] well that would that's neat
[speaker002:] so uh that's where I learned about
[speaker001:] that would be great great if they weren't too worn out at the time
[speaker002:] yeah course there's not a whole lot of market for seventy eight RPM records
[speaker001:] is there not you you'd well you'd think there would be
[speaker002:] well the problem is that most of the record players now will not play them because you have to have that needle that uh particular kind of needle
[speaker001:] well that's true oh yeah
[speaker002:] and uh they just won't play on a modern day uh
[speaker001:] well that's a shame
[speaker002:] phonograph
[speaker001:] because I I we go to antique stores a lot and you see seventy eights
[speaker002:] yeah
[speaker001:] uh a lot at at the store at at at or in record stores you'd
[speaker002:] yeah
[speaker001:] think there'd be a market for I I'm sure you could find old players for them but that'd cost a fortune if you could find them that worked oh
[speaker002:] yeah yeah course they you know just don't have the quality of records nowadays either because you you you get that scratchy sound
[speaker001:] no um-hum well those things were big and thick weren't they
[speaker002:] yeah yeah
[speaker001:] now you could kill somebody with them and the one you buy go out and buy one now and they're just so thin and flimsy and
[speaker002:] yeah they warped real easy yeah
[speaker001:] they just they're not meant to last at all
[speaker002:] no
[speaker001:] no neither are tapes I I I buy we buy cassette tapes and machines will eat them you did so you're best bet any day anymore these days is a compact disk those things are practically indestructible
[speaker002:] yeah yeah yeah yes but I I guess you know the old country and western music you back then when I was a kid there wasn't that much TV so that's all you had to listen to was the radio
[speaker001:] oh no radio yeah
[speaker002:] and uh
[speaker001:] that that's just what just what you had back plus I think it was better back then to the TV there's too much TV now
[speaker002:] yeah
[speaker001:] and the radio is you know more exciting really than than television kept your imagination
[speaker002:] yeah yeah
[speaker001:] was it it it kept it it just didn't vegetate your mind like television does
[speaker002:] yeah I remember mother and dad always turned on the Grand Ole Opry
[speaker001:] oh yeah
[speaker002:] and
[speaker001:] was that on the radio every week
[speaker002:] yeah
[speaker001:] what what day what day was that on do you have you can you recall
[speaker002:] I I seems like it was on a Friday Friday or Saturday
[speaker001:] Friday
