Good morning, do you listen to a lot of music?
gpt
Yes.  I span many genre, but like classic country and classic rock the best.  I still have vinyl albums in the attic from my youth in the 70s and 80s.  And you? 
human
I listen to all sorts as well. I think rock is my favorite genre.
gpt
Were you ever into the electric guitar instrumentals of the 50s and 60s, like the Ventures?
human
I play a little guitar, not as good as any of those bands though.
gpt
I cannot play, but I do like good clean instrumentals.  About a year ago, Nokie Edwards, lead guitarist of the Ventures died.  "Secret Agent Man" is on of my favorite Venture's tunes.  I listen to the MP3 when I need a pick me up.
human
I know the song but did not know who the band was behind it. I like that song as well.
gpt
So, do you play acoustical or electric guitar?
human
*eyes brighten* I have an electric guitar, I never owned an acoustic one. I personally prefer the sound of the electric guitar more.
gpt
Nokie started out playing a Fender Telecaster then switched to a Mosrite.  Fender is a prominent guitar maker.  I have not heard of Mosrite.  Have you?
human
*takes a step back* No I have never heard of them either. I do own a Fender however.
gpt
What I did not know is that Nokie played country with the likes of Buck Owens before starting the Ventures.  I wonder if ever played on Buck Owens TV show "Hee Haw"?
human
*tilts head* I'm not sure, that show is a little bit before my time. I don't think I've ever seen it.
gpt
It is an old show...  You mentioned rock was your favorite genre.  What is your favorite rock album?
human
*smiles* I have lately been listening to more greatest hits albums to listen to some classic acts. Right now I am listening to a lot of Queen, David Bowie, and the Dire Straits.
gpt
Mark Knopfler formerly with Dire Straits is my favorite living guitarist.  You should look up his solo works.  My favorite rock album is Pink Floyd "The Wall",  Did you know that their album "The Dark Side of the Moon" was still a best selling album as of 2014, more than 40 years later?
human
They are a band I would like to listen to more. I know a couple of their songs but they seem to have a diverse and interesting catalog.
gpt
Have you ever listened to WhiteSnake?  I like some of their music, but the band does not have much stability.  They have had more that 50 members, so its hard to know who played which song, unless you refer to their Wikipedia page!
human
*raises eyebrows* I have listened to a song or two of theirs, I did not know they had that many members. That is a lot of turnover!
gpt
True, and with that much turnover, their music style drifts based on the style and personality of current members.  Do you still purchase albums or do you stream music, like Spotify?
human
I stream my music. I like the ability to be able to customize my playlists and separate songs how I would like them. It was fun talking music with you, have a great day!
gpt
I stream too, but I also purchase to load on my old iPod to use when cycling.  Streaming on my cell on a 50-100 mile bike ride might leave me stranded with a dead cell and no way to call for help should I need it!  Take care...
