Remembering those days

I am just wondering about music. Music comes and goes. Each generation has its own genre of music that may affect them many years to come.

I belong to the generation that listened to what is now called oldies and classic music. We used to go and have a good time dancing to disco music.

Sometimes, personnally I tended to have a variety of music genre like reggae, slow jams and a bit of jazz. Later I moved onto rumba, which we danced to, through out the evening.

But disco music has stuck with me, especially when I day dream of how we used to gather around a cassette player and listen to latest songs.

If we went for disco, usually in the evening, we would also hear the latest songs and some old ones, we knew. We also came to learn about the latest disco moves and styles of dancing.

This brand of music went along with a certain way of dressing code or style. This included wearing buggy trousers with a winged color shirt, and a nice shoe we comonly called schooner or the slip on type of shoes. Our hair cuts was something out of this world. We had special cuts called wave, table, wet look, hair do's.

Sometimes we wore what we used to call legwarmers, a small belt, and pulled up sleeves, like Micheal Jackson, George Benson, Kashiff, and others.

The girls were in the class of their own. They wore dresses called Evelyn King after the famous musician cover album picture called "Love come Down". They also wore what they called perdo push (excuse the spelling) and nice hair do's.

But this period is long passed and our children now are listening to a different genre of music. They call it Rap Music. They also have their favourite musician such as Tembalake, Ne yo, Rihanna, Beyonce to mention but a few. When they hear the oldies and classical music, it sound to them like the music belongs to the medieval era.

I guess that is what music is all about. It comes and goes. Quoting one of the famous writer of our time James Hardly Chase "that is the way the cookie crumbles"

In spite of it all, I still remember disco music such as: Holiday by Madonna; Off the Wall by Micheal Jackson, Give the Night by George Benson, Lover turn me on by Kashiff, the list is endless.

Please anyone who share this period of music history, can share their experience.
