We can't go out. What can we do in the house? There is nothing on the TV but bad news. We found some old music - tapes for the tape-recorder (several boxes). Most of them are from the sixties - a time when I was young. In the seventies I had children but my tastes didn't alter. I liked (and I still like) nice voices and songs with good clear words. (I can't hear the words in songs nowadays - and I'm not hard of hearing.) And I liked proper tunes. I have tapes of folk music and jazz, vocal and instrumental. I haven't bought tapes for a long time. There are other ways to listen to music nowadays. The Seekers sang, "We shall not be moved!" We should sing, "We cannot be moved!"
