    Unpopular music opinions

    I have very broad tastes in music and over 3,000 CDs. I don't enjoy all the music I have all the time. You have to be in a certain mood to listen to Charlie Patton or Jenks "Tex" Carman. But when that mood strikes nothing else will do. I still hold fast to the old fashioned notion that music...

    Unpopular music opinions

    I find it extremely annoying to have to conform my musical taste to what some "blues mafia" or "jazz mafia" says I should like. I think it's generally true that people's musical tastes are formed early in their life and reflect the type of music they are exposed to at that time. Much of our...

    Unpopular music opinions

    Exactly! Musical taste is very individual and not easily explainable. How else could I come to like both Harry Partch and Isham Jones? Which is why it's kind of pointless to win others over to your point of view. We like what we like even though we often cannot explain why. If music is...

    Vintage Things That Have Disappeared In Your Lifetime?

    Too much reading to see if others have mentioned this but the Sunday drive comes to mind.

    Vintage Things That Have Disappeared In Your Lifetime?

    For the benefit of those who live across the pond, what is Kiaora?

    Vintage professions you'd like to see come back.....

    I love playing croquet. A summer isn't complete without several games played with friends on our 60 year old croquet set. It's nice playing with a set that has such a long family history and such good memories attached to it.

    Thanks for the link to your flickr set of pictures. What a beautiful instrument! You look very happy to be receiving it. The carving alone is something to behold although I found it strange that they would be engraving the pick guard with the instrument already strung up. But what do I know...

    I just found this picture of a Helms Bakery truck interior. It is just as I remembered it 40some years ago.

    The brown one second from right has a real cellular biology look to it. Looks like something you might see under a microscope.

    Great looking tie. I like the little cameos of dogs. Very unusual.

    Absolutely stunning! I confess I know nothing about sitars other than owning a few Ravi Shankar records but these are beautiful. Are there many difficulties involved in ordering an instrument from India?

    Your Favorite Obscure Artist Recommendations.

    The Six and Seven Eights String Band of New Orleans - New Orleans flavored jazz on string instruments. If anyone here is a fan of R. Crumb's Cheap Suit Serenaders this is kind of the forerunner of that type of music. Supposedly they were a favorite of Franklin Roosevelt.

    Helm's Bakery truck man. My next door neighbor had their bread delivered regularly by them. It was such a thrill for me as a kid to see him open that wooden glass front drawer full of donuts and other goodies.

    How deep is your style?

    My vintage style is only as deep as my wallet allows. I chose to retire in my early 40s and live a life of thrift so I could do things that are more rewarding to me. Any vintage I find must be at a pretty low price for me to buy it. If it isn't priced very low I wait until I find a good price...

    Unpopular music opinions

    As fun as it is to knock musicians we don't like, the purpose of music is to give us enjoyment. Musical taste is as individual as a fingerprint and doesn't always make a lot of sense but, if you enjoy a piece of music, then that music is "good" for you. You should never get apologetic or...
