Only slightly younger than Elvis, I became very close to a woman half my age, and when I met her parents I learned that her father was the kid in her class that my younger sister had a crush on in gradeschool, and her mother was in my late wife's graduating class-- seven years younger than mine! So I have a generation-and-a-half age gap with my girlfriend and a half-generation gap with her parents! The problem: we are friends and we all love music, but my music tastes are either forties and fifties classics or else what my amateur musician kids, barely out of their teens, listen to and perform. I like to hear my sons and their friends play and sing, but my girl doesn't, and if we go to dances with her parents they play 1965 Tom Jones Engelbert Humperdinck goobledegoop, and when I take her out its a long night of high-fructose eighties electro-fake! I love these people, but would yoga help? Earplugs? (They now have some for older people that look like hearing aids.)
