[ExI] pistols

[William Flynn Wallace]

After the 70s, which had popular music I liked to dance to - ZZ Top, Allman
Bros. etc. - I gave up on popular music.  The words seem to be for
teenagers in love and the music was not interesting.  In classical I don't
even try to understand the words. I have a general idea of the content,
sad, happy, etc. and just listen to how the music reflects it.  I also
can't stand women singers who can't seem to find the notes and screech and
scream more than sing. I turn off my aids in Walmart and elsewhere. I have
not heard the National Anthem  sung properly in a very long time.  Robert
Merrill was the best.   bill w
