Can't say I've expanded my horizons much lately, thought I've been listening to Mumford & Sons, Sugarland, and The Band Perry.
Thanks to Amazon Cloud Player, I'm also listening to Younger Daughter's music. Right now she likes Bat Country, and Dance with Asmodeus.
She recently asked my if I had a favorite song, and that was easy. She Moves Through The Fair. When I asked about her favorite, she had to think a bit, and then decided on this.
Big Bands and swing music are great. Good to see she has class and likes music like that. Question is we know she didn't get it from you so where did she get it from ;)
It's a wide open digital world out there, and kids hear about a thousand times the music I heard growing up. Did you listen to Dance with Asmodeus? I thought you'd like it.
I gave it a try, as much as I love pipe organs, the song didn't appeal to me. It might be for the singing involved or something else. If anything in the defense of pipe organs examples of songs made for them that i like are Davey Jones - From Pirates of the Carribean and Tocatta en Fugue in D minor by Bach.Quote:

I do sorta think that orchestral music may have peaked with Baroque, and Bach in particular. I like a lot of chamber music written later, but much of the symphonic stuff leaves me cold, I tend to like the Russians the best of the lot.

Lately I can't seem to get enough sci-fi books on disk. Deathlands, the Destroyer, Heinlein, Bova, and of course, Ender's game. I even went the other way and listened to "Les Miserables" by Victor Hugo last week. Brought a tear to my eye.
Im listening to Quiet Storm :)

Currently, I'm listening to The Best of Cream, with Led Zeppelin's first album and The Doors' Strange Days in the que. All this in honor of my ISP who just finished infrastructure upgrades in my neighborhood and raised my connection speed from 18 MBps to 50 MBps. My new bandwidth, well, rocks!:thumbs2:
Superb Celtic drumming! Take that you Sassenach weenies!
