I enjoy jazz.
Frank Zappa's "The Grand Wazoo" is fantastic.
For a bit of jazz/funk I can listen to some Trombone Shorty.
Another oldie, but goody is anything by John Coltrane.

In the other So, what are you listening to? thread, it seems most folks focus primarily on Christian music, which is quite appropriate in the forum. I do not intend for this to be an inappropriate thread, and if any member goes too far off topic, or crosses the line of decency, I kindly ask the moderator(s) to close this thread. I personally consider crossing the line to include posting names of bands or songs that are indecent, or linking to youtube videos that contain explicit content not suitable for the family-friendly nature of this board.

Until that time, though, I'm curious what my fellow BB members listen to when not tuning in to the local Christian stations.

I'm a big fan of piano music and I love the works of Ludovico Einaudi and Helen Jane Long. Long worked with Howard Shore on the Lord of the Rings soundtrack. Einaudi has been in the composing game for quite a while. His work is often heard as background music on BBC's Top Gear.

Here's a sample of Einaudi's work:
Nuvole Bianche =
Ancora =
Stella del mattino =
Giorni Dispari =
Al Di La del Vetro =

Here's a sample of Helen Jane Long's work:
Procelain (full album) = https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NfNhZwyQQEk
The Aviators (extended edition) = https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=At_BIbaLhcU

Oddly enough, nowadays most of the music I listen to is on the computer -- Facebook and YouTube (probably not odd for lots of folks, but somewhat for me). Most all I listen to is Christian music. Last I listened to that wasn't was When the Roses Bloom Again, a "war song" Mother was reminiscing about.

To clarify, I only meant odd regarding what people might expect as my usual. But, yes, like you, much of what I want to listen to is not readily available -- either on the radio or CD -- but a lot is on YouTube (of course, there's a lot of everything on YouTube, apparently!).

Levon Helm is one of my favorites.

I'm a huge fan of Levon Helm and The Band. Almost to the point of obsession.

Through a weird series of events, I ended up living next door to his sister in Delaware and I have an autographed drum head from him and Rick.

Interesting piece of trivia: Levon and Rick were so close in life that they made a pact to be buried together and they are. Buried next to one another in a little graveyard in Woodstock.

That is interesting. I wanted to see him at the Ryman in 2012 but didn't get tickets...and he died a couple of weeks before the concert (I didn't realize how much his health had deteriorated until his documentary "I Ain't in it for My Health").

When we lived in Delaware, we actually knew his sister, Frances. She knew I was a fan and promised me she would take me up to one of his "Midnight Rambles" to meet him. Unfortunately, I was never able to go and he died before I got to go meet him.

But like I said, she did get me an autographed drumhead, which is now in my music room.

I got to see a later incarnation of The Band, not long after Richard died, in a little bar called the Satelite Lounge in Wrightstown, NJ back in the 80s and did get to see Levon (before I knew his sister) back around 2005. After that, he didn't tour much.

I guess I will be the odd duck. I like 80s New Wave Dance Alternative Dark Wave with a taste of female vocalist and some Scottish Irish. Yes I like a few Christian songs also...

I have a text version of my songs if interested.... just under 3,000 songs. Be glad to send ya a copy to compare if you have an interest in the same music.

I just finished a two-hour drive. I was listening to Mendelssohn: Symphony 3 "Scottish."
Oh, and Mozart: Sinfonia Concertante in C major for Flute, Harp & Orchestra.
(That one is best when played very very loud, and the windows open.)

Regards,
