[speaker001:] Uh, so, Jack, what type of music do you like?
[speaker002:] Well, I like, uh, classical,
[speaker001:] Uh-huh.
[speaker002:] and, uh, sort of, uh, popular rock type music. Uh,
[speaker001:] Yeah. I enjoy classical too. I never really had listened to it till I, I got married,
[speaker002:] Oh.
[speaker001:] and, and my wife, uh, enjoys it.
[speaker002:] Uh-huh.
[speaker001:] So I had never listened to it bef-, till then, but now I listen to it well, whenever she does. And even every once in a while I put it on myself, you know.
[speaker002:] Yep.
[speaker001:] Um, wh-,
[speaker002:] Yeah, I, I used to play the piano, and I like, uh, Bach and,
[speaker001:] Oh, yeah.
[speaker002:] Um, sort of the baroque music, Handel and,
[speaker001:] Uh-huh.
[speaker002:] uh, Vivaldi and those kinds of,
[speaker001:] Oh, yeah, see those, those are really nice. I like those.
[speaker002:] Yep, yep.
[speaker001:] Though I, I couldn't tell you anything about them other than when my wife says, This is Bach, you know.
[speaker002:] Oh. Yep, yep.
[speaker001:] [LAUGHTER].
[speaker002:] Well, I, you know, I don't, I don't know all that much myself, I just, I just know,
[speaker001:] Uh-huh.
[speaker002:] when I hear it that I like it.
[speaker001:] Yeah, that you w-, what you like. How about popular music?
[speaker002:] Yeah. Uh, whatsever's on the radio is, is usually okay with me, but,
[speaker001:] Um.
[speaker002:] um, sometimes I have a hard time unders-, you know, hearing the words clearly if I'm in the car and there's noise and stuff so,
[speaker001:] Yeah.
[speaker002:] It's mostly just the tunes.
[speaker001:] Yeah, I'm pretty much the same way. You know, people always say, Wow! Th-, the meanings of those words.
[speaker002:] Yeah, I know.
[speaker001:] And I'm always, meaning? There's wor-, well, you know,
[speaker002:] [LAUGHTER].
[speaker001:] I just thought they just all sort of rhymed, you know.
[speaker002:] I know, I know. About the only thing I can remember after the song is over is the refrain.
[speaker001:] Right, yeah. That, whenever they say it two or three times.
[speaker002:] Yeah, yeah.
[speaker001:] I'm the same way [LAUGHTER]. Yeah. It's funny, uh, depending on where you live, I, I, I commute back and forth between Baltimore and a rural town called Salisbury,
[speaker002:] Uh-huh.
[speaker001:] which is two and a half hours away, and the difference in the radio with popular music,
[speaker002:] Uh-huh.
[speaker001:] is totally different, you know, when,
[speaker002:] Oh, really?
[speaker001:] Yeah, because Baltimore will play more, uh, what might be considered m-, a little bit more progressive?
[speaker002:] Uh-huh.
[speaker001:] And as soon as you go down to Salisbury, this town that's, you know, uh, two and a half hours away in the suburbs or whatever, uh, in a real rural Balt-, uh, Maryland,
[speaker002:] Yes?
[speaker001:] they, it turns into ber-, basically classic rock.
[speaker002:] Yeah?
[speaker001:] And they don't, you know.
[speaker002:] Oldies or what?
[speaker001:] Yeah, mostly oldies.
[speaker002:] Yeah.
[speaker001:] But classic rock, {D you know, with, if, you know, like when the Doors movie came out, you know, Doors was really on the radio there,
[speaker002:] Uh-huh.
[speaker001:] you know. Where, you know, you'd hear was-, one or two of their more famous songs, maybe top forty in Baltimore, but in Salisbury, you woul-, that's all you would hear was, This is the Doors!, you know.
[speaker002:] Oh, yeah, yeah.
[speaker001:] So, it was sort of a funny thing.
[speaker002:] Yeah, yeah. There's a big variation among the country, I mean, if you,
[speaker001:] Y-,
[speaker002:] go down south, country music and,
[speaker001:] Yes, that's, I'm starting to realize that. I never really thought about that much, but there is.
[speaker002:] Yeah, yeah.
[speaker001:] Yeah, I never,
[speaker002:] So,
[speaker001:] I never, I didn't, I, I lived in Pittsburgh before Baltimore, and I didn't, I never really noticed the difference when I moved to this area?
[speaker002:] Uh-huh.
[speaker001:] I really didn't notice at all. It just seemed the same.
[speaker002:] Yeah.
[speaker001:] But when I went more rural, you know, that, it really changed.
[speaker002:] Yeah.
[speaker001:] So,
[speaker002:] Yeah. Chicago has a lot of good stations, uh,
[speaker001:] Oh, does it? Yeah.
[speaker002:] Yes. Uh, in fact they have, they have a continuous news station, which is nice if you're driving and you want to h-,
[speaker001:] Yeah.
[speaker002:] now, you don't have to wait till the hour mark. It's, it's, it's sort of constant. You just turn there,
[speaker001:] Uh-huh.
[speaker002:] and, uh, you get the latest news and everything. It's, uh, it's sort of like C N N, you know, you turn on your T V and it's on.
[speaker001:] Right. Yeah. Boy, that would really be beneficial.
[speaker002:] So, yeah.
[speaker001:] Because you never hear the, you never hear the news basically on the radio. I never get it.
[speaker002:] Yeah, yeah.
[speaker001:] You know, and if you don't, if you don't read the paper, you sort of fall behind if you're in,
[speaker002:] Yep.
[speaker001:] the car all the time.
[speaker002:] Yep, yep.
[speaker001:] Yeah, that's pretty good.
[speaker002:] So, yeah, I like to listen to tapes, uh, of music or,
[speaker001:] Uh-huh.
[speaker002:] or, um, stuff on a long trip.
[speaker001:] Uh-huh.
[speaker002:] And, um, now you can even get books on tape, um.
[speaker001:] Yeah, yeah. On fact, my, uh, my grandmother does that a lot,
[speaker002:] Uh-huh.
[speaker001:] because she's blind, or what-, she's losing her sight or whatever.
[speaker002:] Yeah.
[speaker001:] But, yeah, that, of, in, I can imagine, you know, if you're driving cross country,
[speaker002:] Uh-huh.
[speaker001:] you know, uh, listening to a story. S-, lot of the classics are really,
[speaker002:] Right.
[speaker001:] on tape.
[speaker002:] Yep, yep.
[speaker001:] Yeah.
[speaker002:] So, that's a lot of fun but,
[speaker001:] Yeah, that's, that would be good.
[speaker002:] Yep.
[speaker001:] Well, we strayed a lot from music.
[speaker002:] Yeah, I guess so. Well,
[speaker001:] But I, but I guess music comes into that whole aspect of listening.
[speaker002:] Right.
[speaker001:] So as long you're listening. So,
[speaker002:] Right. Yep.
[speaker001:] But if you do, if you do have to go something, I guess we can just cut off.
[speaker002:] Yep. Okay.
[speaker001:] Well, Jack, it was nice to talk to you.
[speaker002:] Yep. Nice talking to you, Tom.
[speaker001:] A-, and good luck, and I hope you get some more calls and make some more calls.
[speaker002:] All right. Good.
[speaker001:] Bye.
[speaker002:] Thank you. Bye, bye.
