Gray Matters by Stuart Carlson and Jerry Resler for January 12, 2020

Were they playing the original or the Muzak version?

Not only that, but they were playing live in the elevator, gigs are getting harder to come by these days for some of these groups1

I remember (decades ago, actually), the first time I heard The Beatles’ music in an elevator. It made me very, very sad.

And knew all the words, too…

…still the same

baby baby still the same……

Nothing wrong with liking great music!

Still waiting for the Muzak version of “On Top of Spaghetti.”

Never!

at least you could understand it back then.

Christmas music is over.

Of course you liked it! They stopped playing “elevator music” in favor of playing actual artist recorded songs decades ago.

One of the radio stations near me, has a motto to the effect of: “All the best music, was written in the last century.” Apparently, that’s true, as so many commercials on tv are using music, if not actual songs, from that era.
