Welcome to 40!

Thanks for stopping by - if you're reading this blog, you fall into one of the following categories:

1. Friend/co-worker/relative of mine (thanks for the support!)
2. Someone who googled "Over 40", and is very disappointed to find this isn't a Cougars dating site (sorry!)
3. A lover of music, regardless of age, and/or is curious to know what the old folks are listening to these days (hey, it could happen!)
or 4. You've reached the end of the interwebs

In any case, welcome to "What 40 Sounds Like" - a blog dedicated to sharing the various music styles I find myself listening to these days, of which there are apparently many. Each week, I'll dive into a particular artist, song or genre and hopefully spark some conversation, resulting in one or both of us discovering something new. Either way, it keeps me from biting my nails, so it's win/win for everyone. Ultimately, I hope to prove that being over 40 doesn't necessarily mean you're out of touch with music (good, bad or otherwise).

Before we get to the first music post, I want to give a quick shout out (as the kids these days like to call it) to DJ AJ (http://www.djajmusicmix.com/) for the idea and inspiration to finally share all this (up to now) useless musical trivia and knowledge (i.e., I stole the idea from her, but added the old guy angle). DJ AJ, I'm flashing you the deuces in your honor. Please swing by her blog and check out what SHE'S listening to as well - between the two of us, you're bound to find SOMETHING interesting to listen to.

Thanks again for checking in - stay tuned for the first music post later this week.

Keep on rockin' in the free world - or wherever there's free Wi-Fi!
