Yep! And to think of what we've missed! ;-)

I don't think there's anything like growing up to help you grow up. I
still enjoy (in very small helpings) the music of my youth, but find I tire
of it quickly. It's all a function of expanding one's horizons and
discovering that what was amusing as a young person suddenly has very little
appeal. Lobster, somehow, seems to taste better than a hot dog.

I can't tell you the degree of pleasure I have derived from listening to MJQ
(The Modern Jazz Quartet) now that I've grown older. I used to be slightly
put off by their cool, seemingly unemotional music when I was a kid, waiting
for them to sound like a rock band. I now listen in total amazement as I
hear the cool sound with hurricane force emotion in their subtle work.
Sadly, only one of them remains. Three of the quartet members died in the
past few years. A tragic loss to the original truly American music form.
