I congratulate them on the scope of their taste. <br /><br />Much of the sound being offered as music today is not even music at all and the lyrics not anything resembling poetry. Of course it is a broad arc that the musical pendulum swings. Our modern popular music includes such masterpieces as “How Much Is That Doggie in the Window” and “Music Box Dancer”, “The Boxer” and “Cat in the Cradle”, “Your Feet’s Too Big” and “Gimme a Pigfoot”, “Mommy’s Little Monster” and “Kill the Poor” but where any one of us fits on the musical arc is a matter of preference. The reasons for that “preference” are getting too complex to think about.<br />anyjazzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03319237414264543250noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16659850.post-48893865645949292492015-04-14T17:32:22.681-05:002015-04-14T17:32:22.681-05:00Bob ~ I remember Jackie Evancho winning America&#...Bob ~ I remember Jackie Evancho winning America's Got Talent, yes - a modern prodigy for sure.
