First thank you very much for the nice remarks about our endeavors. Regarding the above quote we differ from your experiences. Literally every day we hear music new to us that we like and in genres of our choice. Janice and I are continually amazed at Spotify's algorithms that put together playlists for us - scores of them that are frequently updated. When I listen to Apple Music (and I'm a huge Apple fan) they simply can't come near the accuracy of Spotify. Spotify offers us a huge variety of blues and Americana playlists that are aptly named to match the songs contained thematically and genre/subgenre wise. Over the past several months since we subscribed we have been exposed to many great artists for whom we had never heard of. And they've exposed us to a lot of music by known artists that we had never heard or was even aware of. For example, I had no idea Nora Jones was in an alt country mostly acoustic band. Great stuff. And on and on.

The songs are there to match anybody's tastes ... but one likely ain't gonna get there with vinyl, CD's and tapes sans the patience of Job. Of course Spotify harbors over 80,000,000 songs so there sure oughta be something for everyone.

So here's a 77 year old screaming "it's streaming baby!" smile I guess for our age demographic we are outliers but we stream most of the day at home and always in the vehicles. Other than a bit of evening tv and when we are hiking/biking it’s music constantly.
