The music of yesteryear still sounds best today

In reply to William Nutt Sr. ("Triad's senior citizens looking for a radio home," letter, Oct. 28), our company, J&H Music Programming, has the great sounds of yesteryear, including the Big Bands and great singers that he mentioned. I totally agree. I like the country music; however, I highly prefer the Big Bands, and the great vocalists of the '40s, '50s, '60s and '70s. We have the music he is referring to, and I am sure it would go very well. It would bring back many memories of the past.

When I was a young man, I used to listen to Martin Block's Make Believe Ballroom that featured the Big Bands and vocalists of that era. When we were in syndication, we included middle-of-the-road, some contemporary, and leased it to radio stations around the country. We would love to start again and listen to it in the Greensboro area.

.....Here we go again.

I can envision Nurse Ratched pulling the microphone toward her as the soft music plays, saying, "It's medication time".

I cannot think of much that is more depressing than walking through a nursing home with Lawrence Welk music pumped through the halls at all times of day. Perhaps Chernobyl?
