Yesterday we went to my wife's sister's place for Easter. She has two daughters aged 17 and 15. Their parents, being technofiles, have music wired throughout their home, which is controlled by an Ipad or mobile phones.
During lunch we listened to Michael Buble (very nice) and then the girls had control of the music.
It started with Amy Winehouse (okay) and then One Direction (almost okay), and then a song I remembered from my teen years; "Love Grows Where My Rosemary Goes" ,circa 1970(apologies to the Americans if you don't know it - Edison Lighthouse was a British band.)

I asked the younger niece why she was playing that and she replied "Ï love that kind of music"
It was then the older niece's turn to run through her playlist.
After a few fairly new songs that I didn't know, on came "Don't Stop" by Fleetwood Mac. She said "I love Fleetwood Mac".
Then, the stunner.
The song was familiar to me, an orchestra with a female singer. I assumed it was a modern girl vocalist doing a retro album. It sounded nice so I asked her who it was.
She replied "Harry James and his Orchestra. Isn't it great?"
I nearly fell off my chair.

There's hope for the younger generation yet.:)


Cheers,
Keith
