Do we age with our Music?
In 1967, I’d joined the Army that May and remember listening when Radio One came on air for the first time. 7 am I think it was, but us soldiers had done a days work by then 🙂 We’d had Radio Caroline since 1964 but I was more into classical music at that time as I’d played violin in the school orchestra. But for a few years, I’d never tune to another station, Radio One would live forever!
As the years went by I found the music I loved was decreasing on that station, and I eventually migrated, along with the music, to Radio Two. I was happy again, with stuff that I recognised, and even though I tried to ‘modernise’ I just couldn’t like much of the new stuff.
Well, I suppose inevitably, Radio Two started to go downhill for me too, and when I moved to Thailand four years ago I found where all my favourites had gone. All the music I like from the 60s/70s had moved to the night shift in the UK, between about 1am and 5 am, which was great because I got to listen at 8 am to 1 pm here in Bangkok.
I flicked back to Radio One the other day; do people really listen to that stuff? Sounded like the food blender with metal in! I guess it’s an age thing.
Thanks to the Internet we can listen to anything from around the world now. Do you know any stations that play a good selection of 60s 70s even 80s music, without a DJ who wants to ramble on for 10 minutes between tracks? Tell me, please! Or even a good ‘chat show’ where the common man comes on and debates anything/everything, like the James Whale Show?
