So you're not going to fix the "Music and Legalism" post?

My husband loved Marty Robbins. So do my sons.

I've tried to convince my sons that they aren't supposed to like the same music as their parents but it hasn't worked.

Andrew,
It’s continued on Monday. The “Monday” link is dead because Monday hasn’t yet arrived.

Rebecca,

I can only take Marty Robbins—or any other pop musician—in limited amounts. I get moods in which I really enjoy old country, or jazz, etc., and play them ’til I’ve had enough. Then I revert to either silence (which is, indeed, golden), or the previously-mentioned heavenly music.

I’m very open-minded about this. I do hope my children learn to enjoy everything their parents do. Well, except for some of that junk their mother likes. Sheesh.

From your list of artists on your iPod, it sounds like we have quite similar tastes. Except for Marty Robbins. And I do have a lot of piano hymns--the ones I think are tastefully done without too many frills.

My Marty Robbins pet peeve is El Paso. Why doesn't it speed up as things get more exciting? That horse should be galloping full speed ahead!

“El Paso” doesn’t speed up because the ending focuses on the tragedy rather than the violence of the climax. At least, that’s my critical analysis.

I have a lot of hymns, instrumental and choral. On piano, I love Paul S. Jones’s Impromptu: Meditative Hymn Improvisations.
