I love rock and roll, hymns, spirituals, gospel,classical, R and B, Celtic, Jewish, Indian, popular, country-western, musicals, instrumentals, choral, mariachis, big band, swing, etc. I like some jazz--Take Five, which you mentioned, is my favorite. I like a lot of the new songs. But folk music has a special place in my heart.

All the songs seemed to be sad.<br />She was okay with my early favorites like Bread and the Bay City Rollers, but when I got into rock, like Ted Nugent, she twitched a little. Luckily, I went to college in Texas and fell in love with Country. I still miss listening to Alabama on the radio.

My parents lived in and loved the Big Ban Era and could do some complicated step that involved a lot of criss-crossing to a perky beat - fox trot, maybe. (Was that earlier?) I grew up with Folk and loved Somebody St. Marie, "I was an oak, now I'm a willow; I can bend." Love Dixieland, the Blues, Show Tunes and Country.

My husband has much more varied interests in music and he listens to just about anything. I remember I used to study to classical music when I was in college. Hope you'll fill us in on the rest of the semester.

I listen to pop music these days, with two teenagers and one pre-teen in the house it's kinda hard to listen to anything else!
