[speaker002:] do you have a favorite type of music you listen to
[speaker001:] um most frequently I listen to contemporary Christian music but I like all forms
[speaker002:] okay
[speaker001:] I uh we I listen to country and rock and classical jazz is probably my least favorite although I enjoy it too
[speaker002:] uh-huh I tend to favor uh rock and roll mostly from the sixties and seventies
[speaker001:] oh yeah some great sixties tunes
[speaker002:] yeah I listen to KGPS classic rock
[speaker001:] KGPS in Dallas
[speaker002:] right
[speaker001:] oh are you in Dallas
[speaker002:] uh yeah I'm in Plano
[speaker001:] uh well probably around the corner um yeah that's a good station I listen to it every once in a while too
[speaker002:] uh-huh do you play any instruments
[speaker001:] no I don't
[speaker002:] never have
[speaker001:] I'm not musically gifted at all
[speaker002:] well I took piano lessons in fourth grade once for one semester I'll never forget Mrs Burkhalter
[speaker001:] Miss Burkhalter
[speaker002:] she had that Nazi mentality
[speaker001:] where uh uh where'd you grow up
[speaker002:] uh in Milwaukee
[speaker001:] oh okay
[speaker002:] uh-huh
[speaker001:] the uh yeah the only thing how to play on the piano is that two handed thing or the two person thing
[speaker002:] chopsticks
[speaker001:] no it's not chopsticks it's the other one that has the um oh I don't even I don't I don't know enough about music to do it but you the bottom person uses two hands and the top person just uses one hand and it's this little melody I it may have been a girl thing
[speaker002:] okay well I have no idea what that is I just know I hated it but I took up trumpet after that and ended up playing in the University of Wisconsin marching band
[speaker001:] oh really
[speaker002:] which was fun
[speaker001:] yeah I went to I went to uh Rice and we had the marching owl band which is quite a it's not known for its musical abilities more so its um comedy abilities
[speaker002:] it uh uh-huh oh we had a great time in the band my uh director was heavy into the big bands so we played a lot of tunes by uh Glen Miller and Benny Goodman and Tommy Dorsey and people like that
[speaker001:] oh yeah well that that was fun
[speaker002:] so it was a lot of fun plus I got to get to go to all the athletic events free
[speaker001:] yeah that has its plusses for sure
[speaker002:] well which uh sixties uh rock bands do you like the best
[speaker001:] oh well the Beatles
[speaker002:] uh-huh
[speaker001:] Creedance Clearwater Revival uh Crosby Stills Nash and Young when it was still all four
[speaker002:] right
[speaker001:] um there uh Black Sabbath did a few albums that I really like
[speaker002:] is that right
[speaker001:] yeah they I know it's kind of strange um Elton John is more seventies
[speaker002:] um yeah certainly but uh
[speaker001:] Yellow Brick Road
[speaker002:] right uh-huh
[speaker001:] I love that album
[speaker002:] yeah I think I've got all those
[speaker001:] yeah I had Yellow Brick Road and something happened to it it escaped me and it was sometime in college and never have seen it again
[speaker002:] um oh I started my uh music collection in college when I started winning radio contests
[speaker001:] how'd you win radio contests
[speaker002:] well they would uh tell you to call in and be caller number nine and win so I had a touch tone telephone in college and uh I just started calling in and winning all kinds of contests I had forty record albums before I even had a stereo to play them on to play them on
[speaker001:] that's great
[speaker002:] I ended up winning about uh two hundred and thirty radio contests in two school years so I accumulated my record collection mostly from that
[speaker001:] that's incredible I've never won not one thing from a radio station I haven't tried I probably haven't tried two hundred and thirty times
[speaker002:] it was yeah well that was in Madison I I won about four times a week it doesn't have near the population that Dallas has the contests here are a lot more competitive
[speaker001:] yeah have you ever won in Dallas
[speaker002:] um yeah but not the same type of contests um
[speaker001:] oh
[speaker002:] they have contests on the radio in the morning and I think I won one of the movie mystery contests one time
[speaker001:] um
[speaker002:] they sent me a small flag in the mail that which which had postage due
[speaker001:] you're kidding me
[speaker002:] no it was a
[speaker001:] oh it's not it's probably not quite the same
[speaker002:] it wasn't much of a victory actually I did win tickets to the to a Chicago and a Beach Boys concert
[speaker001:] I saw them I went to a Beach Boys concert I like them too
[speaker002:] uh-huh
[speaker001:] um I've never been to a Chicago concert bet it was great
[speaker002:] uh yeah they were uh they were very good I was impressed
[speaker001:] yeah Chicago was great too
[speaker002:] every now and then I'll go ahead and make another tape and uh record a bunch of uh old tunes like the Loving Spoonful and Grateful Dead something from the Birds Rolling Stones
[speaker001:] uh-huh yeah
[speaker002:] I enjoy listening to those old tunes they don't play a lot of that stuff on the radio any more you have to pick the right station
[speaker001:] yeah I use my scan button a lot
[speaker002:] uh-huh
[speaker001:] whole lot  I enjoy mainly the old the older rock and roll tunes rather than a lot of the new stuff the lyrics are so repetitive
[speaker002:] yeah I
[speaker001:] that I just kind of get lost in it
[speaker002:] I uh yeah I haven't made any kind of effort to keep up on recent music especially in rock and roll there's not just too much uh new stuff that's well it's not as creative
[speaker001:] it doesn't seem to be
[speaker002:] and the lyrics aren't as uh inspiring if you want to call it that
[speaker001:] yeah yeah some of the tunes used to you know you felt like you needed to go out and do something about it
[speaker002:] yeah lot of pop music out that just isn't very thrilling
[speaker001:] yeah
[speaker002:] course the head bangers I stay away from those entirely
[speaker001:] is there still that type of music available
[speaker002:] certainly is just turn on MTV any night
[speaker001:] oh no I've got small children I don't trust MTV
[speaker002:] they'll be playing the latest of Bon Jovi or White Snake or groups like that
[speaker001:] yeah yeah yeah I uh I tried when um I guess I was in junior high high school when uh Led Zeppelin was real big and everybody I tried to you know really go the whole way and I couldn't go with even with most of Led Zeppelin's music I didn't enjoy it
[speaker002:] yeah
[speaker001:] and some of the stuff you know the classics they were fine but some of it was just too heavy even then
[speaker002:] I always like the easier listening rock the the Crosby Stills Nash and Young Eagles uh in more recent Billy Joel very talented
[speaker001:] uh-huh yeah yeah
[speaker002:] Z Z Top is different very creative they they really uh made uh quite a transition they used to be almost a country band
[speaker001:] uh-huh
[speaker002:] uh playing such
[speaker001:] yeah they play they play some they get some play time on the country stations even
[speaker002:] yeah such classics as La Grange and Touche
[speaker001:] yeah
[speaker002:] and
[speaker001:] I've still got my Fandango album that one didn't get lost in college
[speaker002:] right but uh they they really did change
[speaker001:] yeah
[speaker002:] all of a sudden they became a top forty type group appealing to the younger crowd
[speaker001:] yeah yeah they've got they've now they've got some good videos
[speaker002:] uh very good videos yeah I'm kind of impressed quite creative and appealing to the younger crowd
[speaker001:] yeah yeah
[speaker002:] to the pop audience I guess you'd call it that
[speaker001:] yeah the
[speaker002:] Robert Palmer's got some creative pretty creative videos videos out too
[speaker001:] I I was thinking that yeah he's his his videos are pretty wild I like his music too
[speaker002:] oh yeah and there are some that are that get artsy to a point like Steve Winwood
[speaker001:] uh-huh yeah now see I know a little bit I know a little bit about other groups I uh like I said I listen to primarily contemporary Christian
[speaker002:] uh-huh
[speaker001:] and uh but I spend enough time on scan that I hear what it what is still on the radio well I don't know
[speaker002:] well who's uh who's who's popular now with the uh contemporary Christian music
[speaker001:] oh probably Amy Grant is the biggest one yeah she's even she's got a song right now that playing on a few of the other stations it's called Baby Baby it's
[speaker002:] I don't listen too much right yeah I've heard of her uh-huh uh-huh
[speaker001:] it's neat when you think about how she wrote it and stuff otherwise the lyrics are kind of
[speaker002:] yeah
[speaker001:] you know it's just like oh I love you and I you know this that and the other but she write she wrote when she was talking to her baby and if you've got a baby I mean it's kind of neat thinking about it talking up to your baby and to to an infant
[speaker002:] right that's interesting
[speaker001:] so it it makes it neater but
[speaker002:] well I don't think I'd ever make a song writer
[speaker001:] my secretary has tried to be a song writer she's waiting for her big time
[speaker002:] yeah well some people get lucky and I guess if you're persistent enough sometimes it works out
[speaker001:] yeah yeah well yeah I hope that it does for her she deserves it she's a nice person
[speaker002:] uh-huh
[speaker001:] so I uh
[speaker002:] well what station plays uh that type of music
[speaker001:] uh ninety four point one is KLTY
[speaker002:] okay all right
[speaker001:] and uh then there's ninety point one is KCBI they do more uh they spend a lot of time with uh oh this preaching kind of stuff
[speaker002:] right uh-huh
[speaker001:] so I like music I like listening to music so I don't usually listen to KCBI and then there's another one called Journey that's somewhere in between the two of those it's in between ninety and ninety four
[speaker002:] right
[speaker001:] I think it's ninety two
[speaker002:] maybe I'll tune in to one of those some time
[speaker001:] ninety four point one is fun
[speaker002:] all right
[speaker001:] I mean it's it's it's mainly um just family oriented stuff I mean yeah it's very its definitely Christian but it's not it's not hymns
[speaker002:] right okay
[speaker001:] you know it's not Amazing Grace every other time
[speaker002:] okay yeah I still feel like every time if I ever feel like reminiscing over the old stuff I'll go ahead and throw on a sixties tape
[speaker001:] yeah
[speaker002:] get something from from the Guess Who or
