Changing Attitudes.

I’ve noticed something over time that’s kind of funny. Whenever I sit down to write something; it seems to be harder if I don’t have the streaming radio going at the same time. I listen almost exclusively to LiveIreland and its traditional Irish music. I couldn’t tell you who is singing/playing what, but I do like to have it in the background. What’s funny is I’ve never liked traditional music. When I was growing up Fdad tried to get all of us to like the Grand Old Opry and Bluegrass. The more he tried, the more I disliked it. I guess the time I came to really dislike it was when he would make us sit in front of the tv and watch the Grand Old Opry. I can’t really blame him because he loved the music and wanted to instill in us a sense of that love. I didn’t really get into music until my late teens. I grew up listening to pop/rock and some other types, but that was usually only in the car. I never did really care to have a record player or a radio until later. It’s only in the last couple of years that I found I like Irish traditional.

So I guess it’s like I used to tell my daughters when they said they didn’t like some type of food. As you get older, your taste and attitudes change. So get used to it.
