Oldies Mix

Oldies Mix

By Sara Bitterman

Many people have told me that my music collection is kind of eclectic. This has led me to wonder why I listen to the music I listen to and where my taste for certain songs comes from. I have come to realize that a lot of my music has come from members of my family. We all have very different tastes in music, but having shared our music on the family computer for many years, we have come to have a joint taste in music. I realize today that one of the greatest influences in what I listen to was my father, who always played oldies or country in the car, refusing to ever change the radio station despite protests of us kids. So here is a playlist of oldies, inspired by my dad, a playlist that I believe has something for everyone now matter what kind of music you listen to.
