Disciple to the gospels' sound once heard consigned to rote. A blues afficionados' soul enslaved by every note. A country western junkies' fix performed on steel guitar. A sermon or a symphony they're something of a par. Some techno or a reggae beat command the feet to move. The boogie woogie, acid, soul, like, can you dig it, groove. There's folk and jazz and bluegrass man, and funk to name a few. A tribal chant a Cantors' voice punk rock and glam rock too. As music's my religion it commands my very soul. Praise be and sing it from on high it's time to rock and roll! [This message has been edited by Dr.Moose1 (10-11-2010 07:30 PM).] |

Amen to that my brother! Music is my life's blood. Worked in radio for 15+ years and played everything under the sun... blues, jazz, folk, reggae, motown, R&B, soul, polka, classical, metal, alternative rock, new age, big band, and gospel. Ya, I said polka... six hours on Saturday monrnings. They called me the Polka Price. Worked for a public radio station with a very eclectic format. I was the go-to-guy who could fill in for anybody. My i-pod is a pretty interesting walk through the musical landscape. Thanks for this one Doc. Keep those tunes spinnin'! "We'll chase them like rats across the tundra."

Cpat, Many thanks. I've got my favorites too, but they are so diverse I can't seem to categorize them. If you're familiar with Pandora Radio, just for kicks look up Dr. Moose radio, it pretty much covers the last 60 years of cool music. Doc Andrew, Ol' buddy,"eclectic" is just about my middle name. If it's cool, it plays, regardless of genre. I update my Pandora station constantly as the gray matter allows. Sorry, no polka yet, but hey I do enjoy it too. Doc |

Hey Doc! Trust me when I say, six hours of polka music on a Saturday morning is enough to drive any sane person bonkers! I only did it because I was the on-call guy. But you do it enough and you start to get good at it. Scary stuff! I'll stick with my rock n'roll, blues, jazz, and R&B funk! Can ya dig?  "We'll chase them like rats across the tundra." |

Hey, there's all kinds of music, Doc From acid jazz to pop and rock, From traditional to rockabilly So many styles to drive you silly. I tell ya I'm a happy fella Whenever I hear a capella And when I tire of old doo wop I tune in to some barbershop! Celtic puts me in a mood While gospel is a good soul food, The mariachi latin beat Can put a motor on my feet! Reggae is a different sound While classical is world renowned. Give me folk songs for a while And you will see the ole' deer smile! Polka, choir, and R&B All bring out the best in me Although I think that rap and punk, To tell the truth, is so much junk. I even hum some children's songs Or soundtracks as I walk along. With all the different styles, I've found Music DOES make the world go 'round! |

Yeah, "she's" some kind of wonderful. More witnesses? "All art constantly aspires towards the condition of music." - Walter Pater "Architecture in general is frozen music." - Friedrich von Schelling "Music, sweet music, I wish I could caress, and kiss... and kiss..." - Jimi Hendrix |

Balladeer, I guess I was kinda "preaching to choir" with this one. I wonder if musicians admire poets as much, lol. Doc easy1, Thanks, your quotes struck a chord. Doc |
