What kind of music do you like?

wvalady1968: I learned to really like country and western in my 20s, and still follow it when I'm in a certain mood. Right now, one of my faves is Buddy Jewell. ["I wanna thank everyone who ever told me NO! Pack it up and get back home, Boy." ]

I like the really oldies like Frank Sinatra and Dean Martin sometimes, too.

But my newest obsession is swing. I fell in love with Squirrel Nut Zippers, but they can't hold a candle to Big Bad Voodoo Daddy. I put the CD in and crank up the volume, and there's absolutely no way I could be down! It's great when I have to do housework or something I don't like. Except that I find myself dancing more than working.

Anyone out there like swing, too, or am I old fashioned?

What do YOU like?
