Classical music is the only way we go here in our house when it comes to listening to CD music..
Strauss wrote lovely music worth listening to if one isn't really into classical..
Ravel's Bolero is another one that is lovely music..
Not to say we don't appreciate our local girl that we often hear on the radio..
Eileen Edwards comes from near here (Schumacher which is near Timmins) and was often seen walking the streets of Massey during the fair weekend.. She is really a star.. A really nice person.. Would stop and talk to the kids but we left her alone for most of the time..
Who is Eileen Edwards you ask ???? Perhaps you know her as her new name.. SHANIA TWAIN
I'm a total tart when it comes to music tastes, C&W,R&R, Jean Michael Jarre, Vangelis, Enya, Enigma, Leonard Cohen, even classical, rarely, but sometimes. If the sound grabs me then I don't care about the genre.
When we brought my son home after his birthday, I would play my guitar softly for him and we tuned a radio in his nursery to the classical station. One day, for fun I changed the radio to rock 'n' roll and he loved it. My wife was furious...
