Never even used a car radio

Generally though I find anything form the 1930/40s an instant turnoff, not just music the whole shebang

If a time machine took me back to those times, I think I'd shoot myself :lol:

Oh...and I don't have a TV either :hide:
Apologies, Garry, :doh:
We already know that you're a brave lad! :welldone:
Didn't know that you had keyboard talents. Still doesn't cover what you play, though. Are you a free form jazzer, classic, blues? :dunno:
Disappointed that you don't like 30s, it has a real charm for me. Obviously all the same sentiments expressed, but in such a gentle way. :agree:
1940s leaves me cold, such a sudden shift to manic noise, guess as is often the case, the young folk of the day wanted to do something very different, and if it annoyed their parents, so much the better! :OB: :rock: :OB:

Not that :lol:

It's just distracting background noise which I can live without...as regards the TV I am not paying the licence fee (1.75 times a weeks income) for something I don't want to watch. When it was there, I never watched the main terrestial channels...too much reality crap on.

I have better thing to do :)

Sorry to bring this up again Garry;
You still haven't told us what you play on your keyboard. :dunno:
If you are doing fugues, perhaps you should lay off for a bit, :shhh: I see a post about BA & FOG.

I don't do or even at time understand labels

I play mostly, but not exclusively my own stuff, wherever the mood takes me :)

It's a mixture of things...if you did have to put a label on it it would probably be "crap" :lol:

Some (rarely) is classical style, but others styles include Ballads, Heavy Metal, Rock and roll, Rhythm and Blues, Blues, Country, folk...whatever I feel at the time :)

Nowadays I'm more restricted than I was due to joint problems and only bought a keyboard just before Christmas after being without for four years :((

It is though very much my on style mostly and putting a label on it is pointless which is why I always avoid the question. :) :hide:
