[speaker001:] well uh if you had to pick a a type of music that you like would you be able to
[speaker002:] well I could pick country music
[speaker001:] country music I
[speaker002:] as I've gotten older I've started listening more to the words of music and to the softer melodies
[speaker001:] uh uh are you from Texas
[speaker002:] not originally
[speaker001:] not originally where you from
[speaker002:] Georgia
[speaker001:] Georgia okay well see I'm I'm from Chicago so uh I'm kind of in a different category here uh
[speaker002:] if you had to pick one what would you choose
[speaker001:] uh I would probably go with it's tough uh I think I would just stick with the classics only because uh I like music just for music's sake and uh you know I'm from the era where you know we had all the rock and roll I'm forty so I'm you know part of that whole deal and uh that was a real interesting time and you know the music sort of made the whole time very rich with sound uh but I think I'd stick back with my Beethoven and my Bach and my Mozart I mean because it's just it will always be there it's classic and I don't have to worry about you know what's current and what's not because I haven't been current with music for a long time but you know same um and as far as country music is I've never really uh listened to it I mean because that's just it was it wasn't part of what I knew so there you go
[speaker002:] well I understand what you're saying I think if you would listen to it a little you would discover that it has a lot of roots from the both from the classics and from some of the rock and roll of the era that that we both lived through
[speaker001:] right yeah I it's it's a different perspective on everything too I I know well whenever they talk about uh
[speaker002:] uh
[speaker001:] country music it's about it seems sad to me it's always about some guy losing some girl and then you know playing the guitar and singing about it
[speaker002:] well there's some joy in it also but mostly it it just tells a story about life
[speaker001:] yeah well I must say though uh I listen to Amy Grant do you consider her country
[speaker002:] I don't know I'm not all that familiar with her work
[speaker001:] uh uh let's see well name some people that are country that I should listen to that would be good
[speaker002:] well I kind of like uh I like groups like the Statler Brothers
[speaker001:] okay
[speaker002:] and the Judds certainly
[speaker001:] oh okay I I must admit that's yeah they're fantastic so uh
[speaker002:] Reba McIntire is a little
[speaker001:] uh
[speaker002:] too country for me
[speaker001:] she's something though she's got so much energy
[speaker002:] the that's true
[speaker001:] let's see well I guess I I have listened in on some of the stuff and not really realized it that I do like some of that uh Dolly Parton she's kind of is she kind of country
[speaker002:] oh yes that's certainly where her roots are
[speaker001:] kind of right down there
[speaker002:] um
[speaker001:] uh how about the Oak Ridge Boys
[speaker002:] very much so
[speaker001:] very much okay well I like them too so I guess I've had a smattering and I just uh you know picked I've picked up a little bit along the way that I probably wouldn't have if I'd stayed up north you know
[speaker002:] that's true
[speaker001:] you know so well I think there's music all around anyway I mean I think life is just music so you know you can hear it wherever you want and uh and I've I've kind of shied away from some of the new stuff because I just don't understand it but maybe twenty years from now they'll look at it as classic rock and roll which I really like so
[speaker002:] well it's just difficult for me to believe that anybody's ever going to make a a record of the rap songs of the eighties
[speaker001:] yeah the greatest hits right yeah
[speaker002:] yeah
[speaker001:] yeah so I mean it it it'll if it stands the test of time we'll see
[speaker002:] that's true
[speaker001:] and uh then it'll if it survives then it'll just probably be one or two songs that sort of hey listen what we listened to can you believe this sort of thing but
[speaker002:] yeah
[speaker001:] uh you know I I think of I get real tickled when I listen to some of the old Beatle uh music you know the orchestration of it and that it's so popular still and and uh you know all these rocks rock stations call it classic soft rock you know but we used to listen to it full blast
[speaker002:] right of course
[speaker001:] yeah so it's kind of funny the way we listened to the stuff but I don't know well you got any more
[speaker002:] well the big key is that I think you've already stated that all music is rooted in the classics and it has grown from there
[speaker001:] well that's
[speaker002:] well listen I have to run I hate to cut this short
[speaker001:] okeydoke well it was great yeah and we'll uh listen to some more music and uh I'll look at some country
[speaker002:] all right you bet
[speaker001:] okay bye-bye
[speaker002:] bye-bye
