Don't listen to music as much as I used to.
The old group's are fading, or have long faded.
Nothing new from Savoy Brown, ELP, Procol Harem, Moody Blues, and I could go on ad infinitem
But I also enjoy reading, guess my mother instilled that in me at a young age and after a long hiatus I have in recent years gotten back into it as I have lost interest in being Fucked by pay TV and being bombarded by Woke culture.
In my teens I voraciously read fantasy adventure, Robt. Howard, Michael Moorcock, Fritz Lieber etc. But also ancient history, pre-Columbian up through early mediaeval.
Graduated to American expansion (Manifest Destiny) and WW1-WW2. Took advice from the guy that posts the the ads on VFT who commented that the biography of Gen. James Doolittle was the best thing he ever read, "I could never be so lucky again". In that genre I have to agree.
In the 90's, early 2000's I was traveling a lot and got into recorded books, largely Who Done It's or Tom Clancy types and all 21 Patrick O'Brien's Aubrey/Maturin series, Tony Hillerman, James Lee Burke.
Don't want to sound chauvinist as there are some female author's I've found enthralling, Ursula K. leGuin, Evangeline Walton, Agatha Christie and most recently, and currently Harper Lee .
Just finished the complete Sherlock Holmes, found it at Ollie's for $12, prior to Christmas, and am following it with the Harper Lee which has been on my shelf for 3 years unread.
Having seen countless Sherlock Holmes films from Basil Rathbone, through my Favourite Jeremy Brett, to Benedict Cumberbach I never realised that 90% of them were short stories originally published in magazine's. It made the compilation very easy to read.
