Re: What music do you listen to?

Classic rock, jazz, and classical for the most part. I cannot stand rap or country western.

* Happy hardcore -- also popular in Kuala Lumpur shopping malls.

* Vocal trance (especially tunes in modes other than major or minor).

* Eric Whitacre's Virtual Choir works: Lux Aurumque, Sleep (I promise: these will blow you away).

* Hugely massive orchestral works with insane instrumentation.

* Absolutely anything performed by Genghis Barbie.

About a ten minute drive from where I live is the airfield where Glenn Miller embarked upon the last flight he ever took.

Pop, R&B and rock from the 50s to today and occasionally jazz, country & western or classical. Rap just irritates me. I listen to http://www.iradio.ie, it's mostly for the mid-teens to mid-30s group but I love the craic (irish for fun) on there. :-D

Greetings! I'm a classic rock, oldies rock and roll and heavy metal guy myself. The music helps keep this old guy feeling young.

I recently ran across an "oldie" French Pop Singer. Don't understand much French but nice to listen to. Fance Gall. Found her after listening to Fabienne Delsol.

So, what is your opinion of Ravi Shankar?

[r]

Sitar maestro, just love him especially his jugalbandhis , (he is more into hindustani but he has also incorporated some portions of carnatic creating a unique rendering style)
But I prefer veena and flute, sound of veena is more soothing.
My favourite instruments are as follows
1.veena
2.flute
3.mridhangam
4.violin
5.idakka.....
Are you interested in indian music woodsmoke?
Have you ever heard of panchavadhyam or chembada ?

Hi
I know very little about it, except that when I was in college I purchased an original pressing of his concert in NY on his first tour to the U.S.
When I was in the navy I was in Hong Kong and met a woman that was a "Hindi", in the Sari, white spot on the forehead, all that, in a bookstore. I, being the suave and debonair fellow that I was/am, in my white uniform, asked her to dinner if she would show me around HongKong. Later, sitting in the bar atop the Mandarin Inn a blond in a white "go go" dress appeared before me, calling me by name, and I groaned inside figuring whe was someone I had met in college and had forgot her name. Well, she was the "Hindi'. Actually she was a "British Nanny" fluent in multiple languages and was travelling the world on a "tramp steamer" as a "bursar" and would go into ports of call in different regalia and makeup and speak the language of the costume.

She did, indeed, show me around Hong Kong and we went to a restaurant with "Indian" food, the very first that I had eaten, and there was a group playing there and I really liked it.

Presently I have a couple of cds, but do not "know" anyting about it much, I just like to listen to it.
