You're right. It's all merged together. In the 70 it was judged by hair length. lol If you were Dickie Betts it was Southern Rock. If you were Jerry Reed it was country. |

Isn't it interesting how cyclical music can be? In the 60's there were many many one hit wonders. Did the 45 have anything to do with this or was it just pop music in general?
Today, there are many many one hit wonders. Can you say I-Tunes? Record companies are putting less money and time into A&R. We're not hearing as many consistently great albums from consistently great artists anymore. It's all about the single. That's going to be a huge factor when we're thinking of music that's 20 years old... 20 years from now.
Whatever did happen to the Dixie Cups anyway? _________________ Hart Voice Overs Blog

This morning, as the kids were flying out the door, one came flying back to dash down to the computer with a Simon & Garfunkel CD so he would remember to put the album on his iPod this afternoon.
Which makes me think, in 20 years, what will kids (and others) be using to listen to whatever it is they're still listening to.... |

Yesterday, I had to wait on a schoolbus to unload. I couldn't believe the number of kids I saw with white cords running out of their pockets and up to their ears. Like the walkman before it, the Ipod has made music a very personal medium. _________________ Hart Voice Overs Blog

I love it when Guitar Boy asks me stuff like,
"Have you ever heard of Al Dimeola?"
or
"Do you know who Rick Wakeman is?"
It's the coolest thing to share music with your kids. _________________ DBCooperVO.com |

It is indeed.
And I love when they ask, with longing and envy, "what were the 60's like?" |
