[speaker002:] what kind of music do you like
[speaker001:] well I I like uh I guess it would be easier to say tell you what kind I don't like I don't like hard rock uh but other than that I I like just about every kind I I'm not real crazy about modern uh country and western I I like the old uh uh country western songs that I grew up with uh San Antonio Rose and uh the Sons of the Pioneers Cool Water and that sort of thing
[speaker002:] oh now that I don't know
[speaker001:] well see you're not as old as I am
[speaker002:] either that or I didn't listen to Sons of the Pioneers I've heard about

[speaker001:] but uh the modern kind it seems to me it all sounds just pretty much alike
[speaker002:] pretty much like like rock
[speaker001:] um yeah well
[speaker002:] or or or just too similar to each other
[speaker001:] it's hard to tell one song from yeah it's hard to tell one song from the other
