I hate channel 11.

Now I'm riveted by a show on Vivaldi, violinists and violin craftsmen.

Didn't you post your love of bluegrass music? Did I dream that? PBS special...three days was too much for me. But I watched almost all of it anyhow.


Yeah.

My mother sang Aida so much when I was a kid that I still hear it, together with her childhood singing partner Mavis Staples, now together with my grandfather being friends with Muddy Waters, I grew up listening to everything.

And I already talked about my love of bluegrass. Thanks granddad.

And I tried to go to a Ramones concert back at U of C. In the seventies.

I'm a mutt in more ways than one.

Most stuff from the late seventies on is where I lost interest. The older musicians were more inclusive in their themes and more people were welcomed to the table. (Even though I remember being puzzled by Charley Pride) After that everything became an homage to the "Old South" or frosted & blow dried pablum. No thanks.


Inclusive :lol: it was long ago and they came from where they came from. You might as well say Elvis was a racist Nazi and the rainbow push gets all his money.

No. Hank Williams and many others of that era openly credited ALL of the creators they were influenced by. Black, white and other. It was everyone pulling on the same rope.

Old Chicago was a different story though. Sadly.

My comment isn't in relation to this discussion, but it surprises me how often people (not on this list--just in general) overlook or misunderstand this.

Actually, Old Chicago was in Bollingbrook.

I really enjoyed episodes 6 and 7.

Not sure I'll enjoy the finale which covers the mid to late 80s/early 90s as much but the series has been enjoyable overall.
