(9 comments) Hello Everyone:

🎶 Over the years, I am hearing more of my oldies being reinvented and being played again on various media - radio, YouTube and so on...

Has anyone else noticed the same thing? 🤔

Happy Sunday,

Nicole 🙃

One that comes to mind is one that was a bit surreal:

I heard a Muzak version of Robin Trower's Too Rolling Stoned in a local grocery store... It was 'Muzakified', not the original version, but I was so surprised I got a little light-headed and had to just stop and soak it in for a moment.

...Call me narrowminded, but the first thing I thought was, "A song from Bridge of Sighs on the Muzak!?!?...Never thought I'd hear that".

Watching the River Flow - Bob Dylan
Let the Good Times Roll - Ray Charles & Quincy Jones
Dixie Chicken - Little Feat
