All kinds of music, some more than others. Have you ever seen a program called Music Voyager? they travel all over the world sampling music.

But one of my most favorite groups to listen to is Brule.

I saw Some Indian Dancers in California that that danced with shells attached to their ankles and wrists. They had a very unusual rhythmic beat that was very beautiful to hear with all the shells sounds. It stood out in my mind as good as any concert I had ever seen and I hope to see and hear such a performance once again. It was a performance I have never seen on Tv or in the movies.

A difficult question. It is such a rich art form and has had so many virtuosi for hundreds of years that naming a few favorites is a mighty task.

They include Bach's Inventions and Beethoven's full body of work, Piano Concerto 5 likely at the top of my list of Ludwig's work.


Concerto #5


I love "jump blues", the stuff between big band and rock and roll. It began just before WWII, and lasted into the early 50's. I consider it a vital, yet somewhat of a missing link in the progression of modern music.

One of the best practitioners of the genre is Louis Jordan...Some of his songs have filtered into our musical consciousness.


Let The Good Times Roll



Another example of jump blues, with a classic double entendre included...


Keep On Churnin'...



It keeps going on and on and on...into the 60's...and up to today. Folk, rock, country, Bob Dylan, Beatles Rolling Stones, Joni Mitchell, Richard Thompson, Ry Cooder, Taj Mahal, Chris Smither Bonnie Raitt, The Subdudes...

Just heard a new song by a woman named Caitlin Rose...

Shanghai Cigarettes...

For me, music is like wine. I appreciate both and know what I like. But, I couldn't tell you what or why.
"If it sounds good, it is good"

Duke Ellington

I agree with Duke. Begin at the beginning; the sound. From there it can get picked apart; the rhythm, the instrumentation, the lyrics, all have their effect on one's perception and appreciation, the "taste" of the music. The listening environment can alter the way one perceives and therefore appreciates the music greatly.

Not the same style of music, Carlsen, but try this on for size. First video Stevie Ray Vaughn sound check, after just waking up. Second video is Stevie. Eric clapton and B.B. King. the last video is a full concert with Stevie and Albert King.



The world's been just a little less fun since SRV died.... :(
I miss him.

No doubt they have talented fingers.

Some of it could have come right out of Thunderdome.
