Does the idea of starting afresh and discovering new things beyond your current musical horizons not appeal at all?



Well, by the sound of it, you need to dig yourself out of the "staples or standards" mainstream rut, Chris.

Only joking .... but I do find myself listening to and enjoying things way beyond the "classical music core" that dominated my early years. And I have to say I am enjoying the journey hugely. Each week brings something new and previously unexplored - some of it good, some of it not to my taste, but all of it is interesting.

I feel sure that would be true for any musical genre.

Maybe it's an age-related thing - I've just passed my 56th birthday and with much of the "staples and standards" I feel more than just a touch of 'been there, done that, time for something new'.
Jerry, have you thought of adding a computer to your listening habits ?

Since having my PS3 hooked up to my hifi with the Music Unlimited service I've found so much new music - all at my finger tips and as you only pay the tenner a month it doesn't really cost you unless you feel like buying the actual product itself.

It's really helped transform my listening habits since doing all this at Xmas.

Nothing better than finding new music you've never heard before and getting that excited feeling of a new discovery.
