it is a generational thing, and we are all dying out. As a generation goes so goes their (our) music.

JJ Cale never ever achieved the level of appreciation he deserved in relationship to the real influence he had on so many musicians. Buzzard man, you are right about music changing with generations, but in my universe, which tries to be timeless..the really great stuff never dies. We educate the next generation and they keep it going.
