The others just don't sound sincere. Or over analyzing everything.

I keep hoping their reaction will open up other young people into listening. Maybe even new covers by young music groups and musicians.

occasionally have made several of my grandkids aware of this musical genius… my son in law calls it “educational music”. One of my grands is 13 and taking guitar lessons, so naturally I have expanded his education over the last couple years to exposing him to Mark Knofler, David Gilmour, Prince…. All very low key of course. Well last night I got a text. “Grandma- I’ve been listening to Van Morrison. He’s really good!
Also- Dire Straits!” I mildly said “Mark Knofler is a god.” “Yea! he said- Clapton even played back-up to him!”
I was gnashing my teeth privately while making a few more mild responses- you never want to scare them! But I sure went to bed happy.

He's becoming quite a guitarist and a bit of a showman. In the Dave Bromberg sense.

His name is Isaac Brown. He's very knowledgeable about music, but is unfamiliar with a lot of 60s and 70s music. His videos have various themes - some are by artist, genres, whole albums, top charting sons, by year, etc.. Some are prerecorded and some are livestreamed with group chat. The latter let listeners vote on songs to be played and rate the songs played. Some of the video titles strike me as a little click-baity, but the actual content is very good.

His chnnel:

Sample video (he's got a lot and they cover a wide variety of mostly 60s and 70s music):

42:16 min.
