looking at tom's popular entry on louis armstrong -- whose 20s music i ADORE -- and thinking abt the lex's "b-but i am too young to know" device, i started thinkin abt CUT-OFF POINTS IN TASTE

ie do you or do you not have an EARLIER THAN THIS I CANNOT GO as part of yr listenin armoury? if so sa wot

the earliest piece of music i am aware of liking is SALTARELLO (warnin: may be locked to non-sukratlings) -- it is 700 years old!

I don't have much *knowledge* about pre-60s music, but I still like Frank Sinatra/Ray Charles. What I *do* know about is 40s/50s musicals, which are almost entirely fantastic. I don't really like much jazz or swing bands though so have concentrated my music thirst for knollidge on later years...
