On this website there are many recommendations about purchasing an oldies music CD for a relative such as a grandfather or grandmother. I agree that purchasing an oldies music CD for an elderly relative is a great idea. However, I also recommend buying an oldies music CD or two for yourself. The oldies music CD is not just for old people. The oldies music CD is great for any person who is enthusiastic about music. Perhaps it’s a sign that I myself am getting on in years, but I think the music of the past is often better than contemporary tunes. In fact the music on an oldies music CD is often far superior to the insipid mass produced rubbish that record companies are churning out these days. The tunes on oldies music CDs have more meaning behind them. They are the product of serious, hard working musicians who knew what real music was all about. To my way of thinking, the oldies music CD is the musical equivalent to the classic novel or antique ornament- something to be valued and treasured. Don’t dismiss the oldies music CD until you have actually taken the time to listen to a few.
