1. Not my cup of tea but certainly not the "Same ol' crap"

:) :)

2. I don't expect most people around here to like my eclectic tastes in music

but I try anyway... :hi:

You might like looking through what wfmu.org has to offer, though. They're a public radio station of New Jersey that's known for its freeform radio format. I know they stream their shows, but if you're in the area, they're on 90.1 FM. I don't live in that part of the country, but have listened to them some and usually tell eclectic-minded music lovers about them :D

3. I do like that type of music but maybe a little more...ummm..."Action" ?

like this (on youtube). I love it when the cameras show the Dancers up close...they're cool! :)

4. You would pick the one decade I don't like as much

;)

Yes, the camera work was good :) but I usually avoid movies from the 20s-30s (other than silents) due to the sound of popular music back then. I'm just happy it finally evolved:

5. I understand. I still like to hear stuff that I'm not particularly in to. Trying to broaden my taste

Oh...The Girl in that video I posted? (Doris Eaton) She was still dancing until she died this past May..WOW!
:)

6. That IS impressive!

And it makes me wonder about some of these artists that say they're "retired". Retired from what? Maybe from the limelight, but you can bet they'll keep doing their art until they die, whether they're selling it or not. I thought I had read that Bill Bruford had retired (drummer for Genesis, King Crimson and others) but I just can't imagine a percussionist like him ever quitting his art.

If you haven't heard of him and want to broaden a little more, here are some from various points in his career:
