public, and those who think three undistinguishable blasts of "diddley-diddley" make up an enjoyable set. Not really, but I've had better access to a more varied range in the last 16 years or so. Since moving to London and getting a proper job, I've felt able to buy a CD or something for just one or two tracks, whereas previously I'd really have to want the whole listing to warrant spending money. I still don't like punk, although opera in small doses is fair enough. When younger I was into country music and pop songs of the day. I have now largely left country music (with a few exceptions) and I'm into folk, bluegrass, old time and blues.Most modern music I don't like .I laughingly say that, for me, good music ended in the 60's, certainly not entirely true.Most heavy metal,rock,hip-hop and rap leave me cold.Have my tastes changed?Yes, but I still like the music of old. My tastes in folk and trad haven't really changed, just expanded as I've had opportunities to hear more. But my response to other genres has changed. There was a time when you couldn't have paid me to listen to any C&W or Bluegrass, but through discovering artists who are outstanding in these areas ('outstanding' of course, meaning 'I like them') I've come to appreciate a lot more music than I once did. Still cannot stand show tunes, 'lounge' music. Thought I could never listen to opera, but caught myself enjoying some of it
