Category Archives: Listening

Here’s a list of some of my favorite artists, albums and songs:

I have a weird, unrelated playlist. On the one hand, I love AC/DC, The Who, Stevie Wonder, etc. but I listen more to the newer stuff and quickly get bored with it. Right now: The Fray, Snow Patrol, Killers, Chili Peppers, and Pink is great when I’m simply angry at the world….the new one they are playing right now; the chorus starts out: “I’m not here for your entertainment!” Brilliant.

I love Diana Krall, Jane Monheit, Rosemary Clooney, Aretha, Norah Jones, Joss Stone, Sarah Vaughn, Dean Martin, Michael Buble, Frank Sinatra, Harry Connik, etc. Of course, there’s a list of classical favorites-though not all classical is to my liking.

Finding a radio station is a problem and I usually succumb to news radio – NPR because I don’t like the music on any station and I am not computer savvy enough to download music onto an IPOD, figure out how to hook it up to my car stereo….thus I’ve never been inclined to even buy one.

So that’s my schizophrenic’s choice if you will. I’ll listen to anything once…. I’m not a huge country fan…though I do have a thing for Dwight Yokum.

And I love polka too.

Voices Of Our Time…Interviews by Studs Terkel

Loved this! I listened to the CDs more than once and the interviews are so timeless. Especially interesting are the political discussions, I’m amazed to be able to realize how quickly history repeats itself….during my life time even. I laughed and cried at some and I would love to lend this set out to anyone who wishes to borrow them. Wonderful for a commute or just entertainment at home. What a great loss this past year.
