    I’m an old fogey, too and haven’t liked much of anything post-1968. But I’ve also gotten tired of the 50’s and 60s oldies I used to listen to and in recent years I’ve digging back in archives for earlier American music like boogie woogie, barrelhouse blues, ragtime, barbershop, groups like the Andrews sisters, Delmore brothers, early swing. There’s a good music archive site to try for your style: Freegal.com. It’s basically a library site. Your local library must have a subscription, but it’s free to the patron with a library card. Depending on your library’s license you can download or stream, create favorites and playlists, etc. like Spotify or Pandora. The archive is mostly Sony’s archive. And it’s Free+Legal = Freegal. You search by genre or any term. There are a lot of recent recordings of old classics, too, and obscure artists you’ve never heard of. Commander Cody has a great arrangement of Beat Me Daddy Eight to the Bar. There are a zillion version of St. Louis Blues. Try it, you’ll like it.
