I emailed him and said his wife had it right: really good music, performed by really talented musicians, just never goes out of style. And let him know that at least Lightfoot fans certainly DO know an mp3 from wav files etc. We just don't have many (legal) downloadable Lightfoot files for our ipods.
As I've said elsewhere the only good thing about much of what passes for music today is that it will never translate into elevator Muzak. Try to picture today's 20-somethings humming along to Busta Rhymes' "Touch It" as senior citizens; sort of like boomers singing a rousing chorus of "Why Don't We Do It in the Road?" LOL. Some things are of their time and place and need to be age appropriate - or fueled by booze. But the great songs are ageless.
