    One of the OMG moments in my life was hearing one of my favorite tunes as muzak at the dentist’s office.

    I go for music that is already baroque.

    Any tune from after 1972 is new music.

    My house has vinyl siding the color of mud, so I think I’m ahead of the game.

    Oldies, to me, would be ’70’s and ’80’s, but I do like a lot of the newer stuff. Won’t go into artists here, but they tend toward the hard rock genre. The very first song I heard on the radio, I was a little too young to fully understand at the time, was Donnie Osmond’s “Puppy love”.

    My babysitter played Beatles for me, and I remember seeing the Beatles on the Ed Sullivan show when I was very young. Then there was all the Frankie Avalon/Annette Funicello movies. That kind of set the tone.

    I used to buy “miss-tint” paint. They’d dab a bit on the can lid to show what it looked like and it was about half the price of regular paint.

    Ha!when I was growing up in the 1970s, the “Oldies” station played rock & roll from the 1950s and early 60s.so, the “Oldies” were < 25 years old.

    now “classic rock” stations play songs from the 60s & 70s, but the songs are > 50 years old.

    if they did that when I was a kid, the “oldies” station would have been playing Big Band hits from the 1920s!

    I guess I have to wonder – when I am 100 years old (and likely dead) will they still be playing 100 year old Beatles songs?

    Mix paint and you may get mud, but mix of music just ends in cacaphony – you know rap.

    I just told a young friend (I’m 76) I’m trying to get up to current music, and named Nirvana as my example. He laughed.

    My mom literally painted the guest bathroom and bonus room the color of “all the leftover paint combined.” That flaked off spot in the guest bathroom will never ever be matched.

    “Rock and roll is the devil’s music,” said no one born after 1930.
