Oh no,...what was that sound?....(cr..cr..cra-a-ck) AIIEEE!!
Anyone here play music, as well as listening?
I like to listen to Mongolian Throat Singing (Yat-Kha Yenisei Punk is the best!) but when I play music it's usually a jazz-bop didjeridu, or some heavy metal on a 25-string harp (very fun!). Did they cover that in the survey?
Put a Drum kit in front of me and I can keep time.
Hmm, I like Gil Scott-Heron and Mongolian Throat Singing, especially the Tuvan styles. I play guitar, piano, viola, harmonica and jaw harp, guitar being my most proficient instrument, but I am no virtuoso in any. Still, I love it. Had a fascination with the banjo for a while...
I don't know what it says of my personality, but, if I had to cull my collection (begun in 1958) to just a handfull, I would end up with Jerry Lee Lewis, Harry Belafonte, Bob Dylan, Leonard Cohen, Judy Collins, Buffy Sainte-Marie, Ledbelly, Elvis and Woody Guthrie.
Cull? What a horrible thought.
I would never part with a single one - just fantasizing.
cavfancier - Tafelmusik had a wonderful performance last season that included Innu throat singers. Amazing! Some Vivaldi, some throat singing, some Chinese Pipa and a woman playing the Indian (subcontinental) precursor of the cello. An extraordinary evening of music (it was an exploration of how different cultures responded to the movement of the sun).
Phil Ochs, Bob Dylan, Gil-Scott Heron, Dixie Chicks, Emmylou Harris, Nancy Griffith, Bruce Springsteen, Tom Petty, Marvin Gaye, Beethoven, Mozart and on and on; music is one of the things that takes me to another place, ie up, down or out
I must be a mixed up guy; I love classical, jazz, rock, country, blues, and even some gospel. c.i.
What I really don't like is elevator music of any genre. Right now on San Antonio public radio is elevator dixie which I'm now going to TURN OFF!
Tartar, You also reminded me of telephone music while we wait and wait...... I'd like to shoot somebody.

...For someone to say they like rock,country,blues, or gospel, and then make a blanket statement that they DON'T like another of those genres, seems mixed up to me. The same for Europeon Classics, and American Classics (Jazz).
Booman, I'm only confirming my "mixed up" personality. At least I'm 'consistent!' LOL c.i.
Ci -- and you in turn have reminded me of Christmas music. Ohmigod -- and we're worried about torture in Guantanamo... (By the way, they're using Sesame Street music 24/7 to drive the detainees mad. Seriously.)
C.I.,
...If you you think I'm disagreeing with you , you're right. ..I'm saying you're NOT mixed-up. :wink: If you're mixed up, Ray Charles must be a basket case.
