I love music. From the time that I was very young, I loved classical music and opera. From that point on, I found that other forms were also very appealing. It’s always been an important part of my life.
I am so happy to find someone whose tastes are like mine...Jazz, Rock, Classical, and about everything in between.
A lot of folks center on just one genre, which is good too, as long as they scorn people who like other types of music.
I have just one lind I don’t care for too much..Rap. Probably because it has no MELODY! LOL!
I invite the two of you to give a listen to this station from London.

ClassicFM makes classical music immensely approachable for all listeners.
I make it a habit to play it throughout the house all weekend long (doing so now as I write!)
I studied classical piano at Barrington College (RI), when I was young. "trisham" from MA may remember the institution (it is no longer there). I was composing "New Age" (hate that term BTW) and "fusion jazz" before they were ever called that!
My iPod has over 18000 songs on it from almost all genres (no rap, screamo, reggae, or dub step) and I shuffle among the songs allowing me to appreciate aspects of styles as contrasted against each other.
It helps me as I have composed music, not to land in a rut!
FReegards!
