Orson Welles

I was going to show them they were wrong, and I have spent the rest of my life showing people, trying to prove that what is said is wrong, and that's been an enormous waste of spirit and of energy.

Orson Welles, just before his death

MP3 blog 2021/09/03 - oldies

I used to do an old series of "oldies", like maybe a decade ago on this blog.  And by that I meant "stuff from the 20th century".  I found an old drive with selections for that series, so I'll be uploading them over the next 3 blog posts.

This is "random music I like from the 20th century".  I try and not focus on genres I am more exhaustively familiar with, like hiphop and electronic music.  I also try and not focus on the 1990s, but there are some 90s tracks in there.  I've included the year of each track in brackets.  Most should be correct.
