I have very eclectic taste in music. One day I will be listening to Zepplin, next day I will be listening to some Appalachian folk, then it could be Alice in Chains.

Today it's the lovely work of Paola Requena. I love me some Classical Guitar, and I find it mind boggling that she can remember this entire piece without sheet music.

I'm not in Michigan Central Station but I am listening to a Dominican Sisters of Mary CD here in sunny and balmy New Orleans. I don't expect anyone who listens to this to jump up and dance. That's not what this music is intended for. Listen and let these beautiful sisters' beautiful voices sink into you. It's enough to make you weep, and not because you are sad.



Amen.

Same here! The first album I can remember listening to on my own was The Beatles Abbey Road and have a large classic rock collection (mostly 60's and 70's) but I love classic country, bluegrass, instrumental (Chet Atkins, Henry Mancini,.. etc.) and recently I've been listening a lot to this Classical set that I bought a few years back. This goes really well with a pipe and an adult beverage. :D
... and you can put that in your pipe and smoke it!!!

Well, the unofficial theme song of PSF is "It's Raining Tacos." Bring it on Monkfish! I only ask that you don't post 10 hours of the same song...

Bring it on? You asked, and don't worry, I can play my entire catalog 24/7 for about a year with no repeats and I continually add new albums. I don't listen to songs, I play albums and skip any dud tracks. This is my real affliction, music.

Right now it's Let It Wander by Circles Around The Sun, stumbled upon it, looked interesting and I'm listening for the first time now. Good so far, not exhilarating or sublime but as background music it fits. Nothing to focus on and it meanders enough to keep a loose feel but has some grooves mixed in.
