JOHNNY V MUSIC

Do you miss the music of your youth?

I recently bought a CD of Classic Love Songs. Eartha Kitt, Vic Damone, John Gary, Jaye P. Morgan, the Ames Brothers and many more. It brought back fond memories and depresses me that the young don’t always appreciate this kind of music. (Some do) The so-called music today is so, weird, strange, violent, nasty, loud and boring.

Boy do I ever. The crap they listen to today is not music. It is just a bunch of noise.
