Feeling old yet?

I like to think of it musical context of what is an oldie?
The first Beatles album came out about 63 years ago.
When you were listening to that first Beatles album ,what was an oldie that was 63 years old? Well, that’s about when John Philip Sousa wrote “the stars and stripes forever” and Scott Joplin wrote “the entertainer.” The biggest pop song hits were by Al Jolson..

Sorry you’re going through that Daniel.
Thanks, jon. She actually did get the the service for the new place today. It starts on Wednesday. I have to insure the breakers are turned off by Wednesday morning to prevent a power surge. The cashier's check was sent USPS tracking on Saturday to the buyer's agent. I have papers to sign. My car should arrive any day now from NY (the Bronx, lol). I bought it after seeing an ad at Cars.com. It was last driven in Montana but it's got only 24k miles, 1 owner, and clearly it was garaged. I don't have the car yet but it's insured. So it won't be long now.

When I was young, Igor Stravinsky and Dmitri Shostakovich were living composers. Rachmaninoff, Debussy, Prokofiev, and Ravel were "recent." In high school I was playing piano works by Barber, who was still around.
I saw Arthur Rubinstein give a concert in Miami. He debuted with the Berlin Philharmonic in 1900.

I heard Rubinstein in concert too. With orchestra. Of course, I was a wee teen then.
