American music is apparently quite popular with my neighbors. I have yet to meet them all, but I get a little sense of who they are because a few folks like to play their stereos quite loud (maybe while they’re doing chores?) sometimes. One man across the street enjoys “Golden Oldies” (typically Top 40 songs from the 1950s-1970s) and one of the houses behind mine seems to be fond of Johnny Cash. “Ring of Fire” was blaring this morning. The other house behind mine puts on dance music from the 1980s and 1990s. Interestingly, the three houses don’t play music at the same time as each other as if there is an unspoken compromise about when to play the various tunes. The music does not go on for long, usually just a few songs here and there. Thankfully, I like their tastes in music and it reminds me of home. :)
