Can't wait to read.<br /><br />I came home from a long weekend in California to find the new Green Day release, Revolution Radio, waiting for me (it came out Friday.) Can't wait to see what they've done after a long (and hopefully sober on Billy Joe Armstrong's part) hiatus. But I can listen until I'm doing chores or fixing lunch, because I can't do anything that requires thinking and listen to music at the same time. Very annoying!<br /><br />I listen to everything from classical to punk to New Orleans jazz (brought home CD by Tuba Skinny, Laura Lippman's favorite band that I got to see in NOLA.) And I am a HUGE Paul Simon fan.Deborah Crombiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16988750789088153601noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1001156153899984046.post-84479599441920508792016-10-11T10:41:56.070-04:002016-10-11T10:41:56.070-04:00Good one Mary!

My tastes are all over the place, depending on my mood. This morning was the Beatles because I needed a shot of happiness.<br /><br />I have discovered, however, that I can't listen to classical in the car. So soothing it puts me to sleep, which is not good when you are trying to navigate rush hour.Liz Millironhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04919409969263609919noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1001156153899984046.post-67254372091133510372016-10-11T10:08:43.147-04:002016-10-11T10:08:43.147-04:00Hank, EmmyLou Harris always!

Cannot wait to read. <br /><br />And I couldn't possibly list all my faves and go-tos--but suffice it to say my main Pandora station is called "Paul Simon Radio"--and I have others called "Judy Collins Radio" and "Lido Shuffle Radio" and "Goldberg Variations Radio" and "Beatles Radio" and "Emmylou Harris Radio."<br /><br />Hank Phillippi Ryanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17420701704169428286noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1001156153899984046.post-59911762435263447822016-10-11T09:27:17.686-04:002016-10-11T09:27:17.686-04:00Flora, I could easily listen to your playlist!

Just dip your toes into a short story and find yourself making another list of authors whose books need to be searched out.<br /><br />My musical soundtrack--lots of 60s-70s-early 80s pop music--Beatles, CS&N, Nick Drake, Joan Armatrading, Joanie Mitchell, James Taylor, Simon & Garfunkel, Paul Simon, Eric Clapton, Johnny Cash, Bonnie Raitt, Rodney Crowell, Gordon Lightfoot, a little opera, lots of Rachmaninoff, Beethoven, and Bach, some Texas swing, Irish fiddle music, and some Ry Cooder. Lots of stuff, I guess.

For years I cleaned house to a loud rendition of Beethoven's 9th or Tchaikovsky's 1st Piano Concerto, great chestnuts. Stravinsky I saved for other endeavors (smile).<br /><br />And the Beatles for pure happiness. <br /><br />And Patsy Cline for groveling.<br /><br />Now my favorites are choral music and opera. Or the sound of my partner Julie singing anything in her magnificent mezzo.<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />Ann in Rochesternoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1001156153899984046.post-39741807648185771332016-10-11T07:30:58.870-04:002016-10-11T07:30:58.870-04:00Hallie, Jim will love that you love the Beach Boys...Hallie, Jim will love that you love the Beach Boys.
