Do you really like this kind of music?

I've been appreciating it more as of late. I guarantee I hear "Mockingbird Hill" today.

It's easier on the ears than rap.

I'm more partial to Rock, Gospel, Classical, and Blues.

Some of the songs I know are really old but there aren't any "older" recordings I can find on Youtube.

 

[ChrisL]

Oh man, now you're going to make me want to post some rap. Crazy Sky would absolutely freak!

I like hip hop because I like to dance, and I'm not talking about the Charleston.
