    Must listen to the local radio station at work. Pureed mush a la American Idol, and about as repetitive.


    At home I'm listening to Billy Talent right now. Much more enjoyable!

    Garth Brooks, Dixie Chicks, Dwight Yoakam and a guy by the name of Tim Hus (kinda like a young Stompin' Tom). Hey don't give me a hard time, it's Stampede round these part and you have to fit in.

    I've always been interested in classical music . . .

    but have never investigated it for fear of running into the viking lady screeching her heart out. Could you suggest some pieces that are just music?? Thanks!
    Days where my gratitude exceed my expectations are very good days!

    When I was fencing, I use to listen to a lot of Wagner to get the blood pumping. Nothing quite like the sound of cannons to prepare you for battle.

    For Framebender and anyone else in the same quandary about classical music:

    Three Gymnopedies
    composed by Erik Satie

    About as far from "the opera isn't over until the fat lady sings" (Wagner) as you could get, within the classical domain. I would call Satie's famous piano Gymnopedies "classical" - not sure if that squares with what a real musical theorist or historian might say.

    If you back up to my previous post on this thread, and follow the link that I put there, you can get a quick read on Pandora Internet "radio". It's free, and it's a great way to explore all kinds of music online. You can listen to it online while you are doing OptiBoard or anything else that you would normally do online. I've only sampled the jazz part of their library, but I think they cover most of the bases, as far as musical genres.

    Harry, I love a variety of music...and classical is necessary to round out the diet. I also love good jazz, can listen to country and really appreciate it for a while, and even some rock, but not hard rock. I love romance feel good music. Good Southern Gospel is good as well.

    Not at all, Harry. I'm actually a classically trained musician and played semi-professionally in Virginia Beach with the Virginia Beach Pops Orchestra. Oboe payed my way through college.

    If I had to select a work that I really enjoy, it would be Bizet's 2nd symphony. The oboe solos are wicked and wonderful. My least favorite to perform, Rossini's Silken Ladder. Those solos will kill you!

    Of course, I'm sill a huge Stones fan....

    I listen to everything besides country (with one exception to that which is only because I love her voice and she doesn't have that dreaded nasally twang). I make my own CDs from music I have in my collection; one CD can have everything from Boston Pops to Radiohead to Snoop. Right now I'm listening to Leahy, and the next song on the playlist is Gipsy Kings followed by a couple of Ozzy tracks. How's that for variety?

    I'm right there with ya, Harry... Beethoven's 14th Sonota is a personal favorite. Perhaps I'm getting old, but sometimes the only thing I feel like listening to is our local classical station.

    some music for for the cheese and wine

    After a day filled with nose cheese and whine, there is nothing like the “pure” sound of the Tallis Scholars to put it all back into prespective. If you like classical you might also enjoy some renaissance. No screeching Vikings here.....I promise.

    Free samples:
    Allegri: Miserere
    http://www.printeryhouse.org/mall/Gifts/Music/Audio/G839-1-1.mp3
    Lassus: Salve regina
    http://www.printeryhouse.org/mall/Gifts/Music/Audio/G839-1-10.mp3
    Tallis: In manus tuas
    http://www.printeryhouse.org/mall/Gifts/Music/Audio/G839-2-2.mp3
    Byrd: Mass for 5 voices
