Yep, it’s official. I am a lover of older music. Try out Bread today, readers. I can’t promise that all of these songs will be to your taste, but they are certainly worth sampling. And yes, those puns were deliberate. 😉
Have fun savoring the music!

Yes, I saw the film Mamma Mia! No, that is not where I first heard ABBA. Did you know ABBA was offered about a billion dollars to go on tour again, but they all turned the offer down? Talk about class!
Want to know something else interesting? Not one member of ABBA could speak English when they were originally performing. They memorized and sang the words for their songs, but they did not actually understand English. You would never know that when you heard them perform, though! 🙂
Okay, history lesson over. Go have fun thanking ABBA for the music!

I am a real lover of the ‘oldies.’ This band of the Classic Rock era, a soft rock group actually called America, is one of my favorite rock bands. Though I do not particularly like the lyrics for “Sister Golden Hair,” the music and the vocals are unbelievably great! Therefore, this song is also on the list below.
In a while, crocodile!
