This is weird. I spend a lot of my week performing on mandolin or dobro at bluegrass and country jams here in The Villages. When I look at the audience, they seem elderly, like a generation or two older than me. So when it’s my turn to choose a song, I usually choose a song that was a hit before I was born because it will be a special treat and bring back old memories for the audience. Alas, the fact is, these “elderly” people are probably about my age, and even their parents don’t remember Ernest Tubb the Texas Troubadour or “Uncle Josh” Graves and “Bashful Brother Oswald”. I think I’m caught in a time warp. However, it’s a time warp that has no place for rap or disco! Abominations!
