@acman3 -- Tell it to me Dolly...
How eclectic is your taste in music?
Most, if not all, of my best friends in life have embraced different forms/styles/types of music.
The music ranged from Jazz to Classical to some Rock and others...even some more classic, early country.
Do you enjoy various music styles or are you more focused on a type or two?....And how/where does the
music of this season fit in? I find Nat Cole doing Mel Torme's "The Christmas Song" comes very close to nearly everything I love about music.
And I have gotten over people thinking the title to that song is "Chestnuts Roasting"....I no longer have the urge to burn down their tree...mostly.

What I’ve listened to today: Diesel and Dust - Midnight Oil Kind of Blue, Sketches of Spain - Miles Davis Live at the Fillmore West - The Allman Brothers Band Tosca - Maria Callas, Giuseppe di Steffano, La Scala
As an aside, I’ve gotten much more into opera lately since I wound up with $200 store credit at a place that sells complete operas on LP for $0.95 each. They’re kind of a crapshoot as to condition but enough of them are excellent to keep me going back

Started off as a ProgRock teen, made fun of " Opera"....and Punk...and Rap ......moved to San Francisco....hung out at Caffe Trieste( a beat caffe, with an Opera Jukebox)... Learned to love Opera,...went to Art School with Punks, and learned to appreciate their angst and expression......was baffled at first when a friend gave me a copy of Bitches Brew....but absorbed it after a month....and swung hard into Jazz.......saw Don Cherry at Keystone Corner....and began my " World Music Explorations".....which takes me to my fascination with Okinawan harmonies......and early Korean folk/ shamanistic songs, reinterpreted by bands such as SsingSsing....and LEENALCHI..........check them out on YouTube.... |
I like music a lot, so thank you for this post, I found a lot of new for me. I like to listen to music while I play https://netticasinohex.com/kasinot/jaak-casino/ |
I listen to a wide range of music. Everything from Mahalia Jackson to Lamb Of God. What I don't like is "quirky" music that can lack skill... musically or vocally. An obvious example would be The Sex Pistols or other punk or post punk bands,. B-52's/Ramones/The Clash/Talking Heads and Lou Reed are examples of music I have little or no interest in. |
