text: are there any gen-xers who like real old music or is just me? my parents boought me a lou rawls lp on xmas '77: i was a month shy of the tiny 0-9. it encompasses "one for my baby", "it was a very good year" and "i'd rahter drink muddy water. since then, i've been immersed with old music. my range is  from  glenn miller to n'sync. i like knowing that "god bless the child" was written in '41 just as it's nice knowing that r. kelly's birthday is the same as elivs': 1/8. you should check out some old soul and funk music. stuff like marva whitney and lyn collins from james browns band, or the isley brothers, particularly the brothers isley record. you could check out captain beefheart if you dig weirder "art rock" music.
