With my discovery of You Tube a couple of years ago , I've been able to revisit some music that I used to listen to at one time.
My music tastes and listening have certainly changed over the years. When I was young. When I was very, very young we did not listen to much radio. Much of radio was programs rather than the station playing music. Some of the programs were country and western music. Other programs were like Lux Presents Hollywood. Fibber Magee and Molly and many more.
Anyway when I was younger I listened to country and western music. But in there somehow I listened to singers like Perry Como . Perry Como popped into my brain the other day and I checked you tube. I listened to his songs for a couple of hours. I'd forgotten how good the guy was. Perry Como picked good songs. He sang with a full orchestra. No wonder I like the guy. I put this on face book and was surprised how many friends had their memories of Perry Como.
Like any teenager in the fifties I was attracted the rock music. Elvis and many more performers caught my attention. At the same time I found some classical music that I liked to listen to.
One day as I was leaving the local library with a fist full of CD's someone said, " you have an eclectic taste in music." I had to come home and look up the meaning of eclectic.
Mr C started singing in the mid thirties . He had a long and varied career with bands , radio and television.
I enjoyed listening to him the other evening.
So do you remember Perry Como? Did you like him?
