I know when we first started visiting The Villages in 2001, WVLG was playing songs from the 40's and 50's. Then after several years, they started playing songs from the 60's and those were "our Golden Oldies". So, I guess, time marches on. And someday in the future, WVLG will be playing the "golden oldie RAP" format for the new "millennial" villagers that will be moving here.
I still prefer songs from the forties and fifties. Also the thirties. Alas! Not many of us do. For those who do, if you have Sirius XM, try Siriusly Sinatra, channel 73, I think. Great music! It’s known as The Great American Songbook: the greatest American songs. Bring them back!
