Another RIP-EVH thread...

I love me some blues!

I was in a blues band for several years before I put down my sticks and quit playing twenty years ago.

I appreciate the blues, but not a steady diet of them. I'm kinda like Navin R. Johnson...

As long as kids still have brains, they'll appreciate the brainy music of AC/DC.
It transcends the generations. Sort of gives me hope for the future.

My hope for the future comes via YouTube. While I listen to a fair amount of music there (sorry, but no rock), I'm uplifted by listening to the youngsters of all ages that are telling their stories for the #walkaway movement. That's a movement that encourages those leaving the left political philosophy. Those are folks that are becoming more and more conservative, and there is also the Blexit (Blacks leaving the Dem Party) and Lexit (Latinos leaving the Dem Party) and voting more conservatively.

They amaze me in their newfound understanding of principles and how government works, or at least, should be working. While we here at OSA have a tendency to bash most of the youngsters, these people are giving me lots of hope.

Thankfully at least one of our girls paid attention and knew who EVH was.

She was surprised I didn't seem more bummed out when he died.

I told her new music from ACDC helped.

It's all about what they are exposed to on a daily basis.

Ever since Marconi invented the radio,,,
Each generation loved best the music that was played in their "puberty" years.

I know one woman in her early thirties,,,
She grew up an only child of a single mom,,,
Her mom listened to nothing but 1950's Do-Wop music.

This girl knows the lyrics to every pop hit from that era,,,
Same for another guy whose parents were Led Zeppelin freaks.

About the only genre of music I can't get the Gen-X'ers into is The Blues,,,
For some reason they just can't connect to it.

I play "Babe I'm Gonna Leave You" and their eyes glass over,,,

It's like me trying to listen to Techno Pop.

Don’t get me started. Music is so important in our household. Yesterday selections ran from SRV, gene loves jezabel to the highwaymen. My kids are 25 and 28 this week. They can school most people on rock, underground, new wave, Motown and any kind of country. My daughters playlist on her phone is pretty impressive even to me. My wife and I don’t have a single song downloaded digitally. We own every cd, record or tape.

One advantage of wearing the modern hearing aids is that they are Bluetooth capable.
Music is in my head all day. When driving I can shut down the “external” road noise or my wife talking in the phone next to me while getting music.
I’m a modern blues fanatic,with a little delta blues
Stevie Ray Vaughn, Kenny Wayne Shepard, Texas blues, blues guitar legends radio, and others.

Pretty cool feature!

I missed all the hair god bands when overseas.
Some is ok looking back at it. Most of it I don’t care for.
Really into the guitar side of The blues. Not so much into lyrics.

Stevie Ray Vaughn's "Mary Had a Little Lamb" is one of my all time favorites!

Now there's some killer lyrics!
