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 reviewed Armstrong's '20s recordings on FT - one of my first music pieces there! That and some other contemporary blues and jazz is as early as I go, but there isn't that much I care for greatly before the rise of R&B in the late '40s, then there is tons from then on.
