The Music Time Forgot

The music time forgot is the Spanish songs they play in the Mexican restaurant. Not being someone who knows much about that whole scene, are these current hits? It's weird that they all sound so old fashioned, like they're from the '40s or '50s.

But really there's no reason I know of that music has to sound different as the years go on. Time goes on but that doesn't mean music has to change. A whole bunch of accordions ought to sound just as good in one decade as it did in another. That's a fact. A very sentimental sound, a rollicking tune, a boisterous group, just add it up.

Our experience, they way I've seen it, with music is that it does change, but that could just be our experience. You can tell the difference between popular music from the '40s, '50s, '60s, and so on. It's not just one big mash of the same thing.

Music from Mexico ... musicians from Mexico ... and I don't know a single one ... they've got the big hats, big guitars, big groups, and it's a very happy sound. I was looking at some CDs at a Mexican grocery store just today, and there they are! By the way, the sell CDs that are chockful of mp3s there. You can buy a CD with 230 songs on it! With the list on the back being in small time. Other ones with a hundred and some songs, etc. It all looks a bit shady.
