Bosco-d-gama Posted December 26, 2018 Share Posted December 26, 2018 Got weary of the Christmas music and searched about for a comfortable genre to enjoy. Settled on hits from 1966 through Pandora. After a bit of time it dawned on me that if this were 1918 we’d be involved in WW1 and I’d prefer listening to tunes from the civil war. YIKES! 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldtimer Posted December 26, 2018 Share Posted December 26, 2018 It's all a matter of perspective. Is it because there aren't any songs today about the Iraq, Afghanistan, Syrian, (or take your pick of all the clandestine anti-terrorist kill squads around the world) wars? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators dtel Posted December 26, 2018 Moderators Share Posted December 26, 2018 60, 70, 80's hits on Pandora gives a pretty good mix most of the time. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave1290 Posted December 26, 2018 Share Posted December 26, 2018 Why pay for it if you have it in vinyl? BUT I see the point of having it ready to go coming in from somewhere... Well maybe I do... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All in all it is just me being lazy as well as cheap. That said Pandora gives a pretty nice mix...... until they start looping the same stuff. Then I change channels til I sicken of that selection. Have friends who subscribe to Pandora and they tell me that Pandora interrupts their music more than they do mine. We had Pandora mix up tunes around Pink Martini and greatly enjoy those works. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Background music without having to touch it, I wouldn't pay for it but for some reason rarely get adds. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave1290 Posted December 26, 2018 Share Posted December 26, 2018 Geeks I tell ya! Geeks! You're all a bunch of geeks! hahahaha I'm soooooooo clueless... Yea, I know it works but ALL the kids I know who have it??? They just laff! My oldest daughter moved pics from my old phone that were 3 years old to my new phone... Don't ask me how either! Underlying reason for the move??? Of course there was. She dropped her newer Galaxy and was desperate so THAT was the deal... Took her 5 minutes and would have taken me 5 months! Carry on! Pathetic can be a good thing! 😂 Tech savvy... HA! 😎 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Back in '65 we had this song which is still relevant: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qfZVu0alU0I I have always admired Sloan for writing it and still remember some radio stations banning it...

It was okay for background music while working. I hated the drift: start with Metallica and the next thing they're playing Malinlow. 7 hours ago, oldtimer said: It's all a matter of perspective. There is a short version of this, but I don't have it in print...sorry. "Dear Mom and Dad, It has now been three months since I left for college. I am sorry for my thoughtlessness in not having written before. I will bring you up to date but before you read on you had better sit down. Okay? I am getting along pretty well now. The skull fracture and concussion I got when I jumped out of my apartment window when it caught fire after my arrival here is pretty well healed. I only spent two weeks in the hospital and now I can see almost normally and only get these sick headaches once a day. Fortunately the fire and my jump were witnessed by Roger an attendant at the gas station, and he was the one who called the fire department. He also visited me in the hospital, and since I had nowhere to live he was kind enough to invite me to share his apartment with him. He is a very fine man, and we are planning to get married. We haven't set the date yet, but it will be before my pregnancy begins to show. His divorce is final now, and he shares custody of his 3 children. The reason for the delay in our marriage is that Roger has a minor infection which prevents us from passing our premarital blood tests, and I carelessly caught it from him. This will soon clear up with the penicillin injections I am taking daily. Now that I have brought you up to date I want to tell you that there was no fire, I did not have a concussion or skull fracture, I was not in the hospital, I am not pregnant, I am not engaged, I do not have syphilis, and there is no divorced man in my life. However, I am getting a "D" in Art and an "F" in Biology and I wanted you to see these marks in the proper perspective. Your loving daughter," Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
