Nice to make your acquaintance, likewise. I’m anachronistic too. I think the French term for such a person is a “passeist.” I don’t speak French, but I’ve always remembered that word. We could discuss music for hours, and probably films too. I’ll check out "The Umbrellas of Cherbourg" soundtrack, and the other music you mention. Too bad Groove Shark isn’t still around … their streaming service was completely free. I like Buddy Holly, the Everly Bros., and the others you mention.
