I'm so old I Remember when:

[Evadig]

Go find some boring, monotonous, repetitive classical pieces. Listen to them several times a day. Enjoy not sleeping.

Classical pieces are neither boring, monotonous, nor repetitive. And you can use them to lull baby turkeys to sleep!

I am a classical fan. I love most of it. But there are some songs that all sound the same if you listen to them all in a row, or if you listen to them too many times. Depends on the piece, composer, and all that stuff..

Josey almost fell asleep to some today.

I agree, some pieces sound the same and some were even borrowed from another composer's music! It just seems that nobody likes classical music anymore so I feel compelled to defend it every time someone says something that isn't completely laudatory .

I know I say this a lot on this thread but of course I still have many at home and I still keep lots of things in them.
They are good little storage containers!

I only have a couple left. My grandfather (Pawpaw) smoked them so they were a staple in my family.

Yeah lots of people say they hate it and haven't listened to the good stuff.

A cigar box was required for 1st grade students when I started school. Crayons, pencils, scissors (round point only), and a jar of past were kept in a cigar box on a shelf under our desk top.

Beer flats were the staple in my younger years. They slid right in the desk opening.

There is a reason they're still being played hundreds of years later.

You're picking the wrong classical, mate.

A lot of people have heard the William Tell overture since it was the theme music for The Lone Ranger.

A live performance of the 1812 is never boring either.
