Do you like music?
gpt
*leans forward* Some I do and some I don't.  Like when it comes to country, I like the older stuff like George Jones and George Strait, and Charlie Pride.  Did you know that only 2 black people are in the Country Music Hall of Fame.  I know Charlie Pride is one; I am curious as to who the other one is.
human
*calm eyes* I myself only have gone into country music recently. It has a very interesting history
gpt
*raises eyebrows* It has an interesting past and evolution and in many areas (like mine) we have local stars who have not made it big nationally.  I was surprised to see that Henry Ford pushed country music with his money because he feared jazz's  "urban decadence"?  I, for one, like both country and jazz as well as other music genre!
human
I agree. I wonder what made jazz urban decadence
gpt
I am not sure.  I guess he might have thought the zoot suits and dance associated with jazz and big band music to be too extreme.  Are you much into dance?
human
I enjoy it, not very good at it though
gpt
I am not at all good at it, but I do go to some of our Cajun and Zydeco dancehalls to socialize.  I also at times take in dance performances at the local university.  Did you know that a pro ballet dancer can go thru 4 pairs of pointe shoes a week?
human
Must be a great business for whoever makes those shoes
gpt
I would think so.  I guess dancing is in our blood early on even if we are not good at it later in life.  Babies spontaneously dance when they hear music and then smile more when they sync with the beat!
human
*calm eyes* Indeed. Also, did you know bruce lee was a great dancer
gpt
I am not surprised.  He had phenomenal coordination and dexterity as a martial arts star and I could see that translate well to dance.  Do you follow the reality show "Dancing with the Stars"?
human
Yes I have seen a few episodes
gpt
I do not watch much broadcast TV, so I only have caught once or twice in passing.  I remember seeing / reading that "Bobby Bones" won recently.  Who is Bobby Bones?
human
So I wonder if it is a career changer if you win
gpt
I know some of the singing competitions are since the singers are aspiring to be stars.  But since these are already stars, it is probably just another feather in their cap.  I looked it up online and Bobby Bones is a syndicated country music radio DJ.  That's why he is not familiar!  He is generally heard and not seen and therefore would not be readily recognizable like a TV star!
human
i guess that makes sense that he is well known but not well recognized
gpt
*raises eyebrows* Since you have only recently gotten into country music, have you listened to his show on the radio?
human
*calm eyes* I don't use the radio
gpt
*raises eyebrows* I still do when driving since I have an older truck with an AM/FM radio and cassette player.  Plus, we have local AM stations dedicated to local music and news.  Did you know that Jupiter has radio storms so strong you can pick them up on AM radio?  I am curios if astronomers can predict Jupiter's radio storms so that we can know when to tune in?
human
That sounds pretty cool. After this chat, I will look up some stuff on the radio. Thanks for the informative chat
gpt
*opens mouth slightly* Same to you.  What has peaked my interest is a website where you can stream classic radio dramas.  I hope they have Orson Welles "The War of the Worlds".  Take care...
