I love all the old tunes cause they have heart & sole &

to dance & enjoy life to the fullest unlike now cause of
so much OTHER stuff we have to entertain us these days.

For reasons like some of the music, today is not of the quality we are lucky to have music to choose from on YouTube and other sites so if we want we can listen to the old tunes and enjoy ourselves.
I have found a way to make my own cd’s from music off you tube so I can have all the music I enjoy listening to anytime I feel in the mood for so that makes it pretty cool
well the old songs and musics are still famous for them nice post .
