And now, more about music.
How can we have "a favorite" song.
I relate to, and admire some Country & Western music.
"Adagio for strings" (See Platoon) moves me!
"Rhapsody in blue" will always bring emotions to the fore.
I freely admit to admiring some of Neil Diamond's work. And I think Leonard Cohen is a genius. As someone mentioned earlier, Roy Clark may be a hayseed, but he is gifted as few others with stringed instruments.
My one great sadness about music is that I was never exposed to the Classical or Romantic Period music of the masters. I listen, but seldom know who is doing what or why.
On this, I'll bet we can all agree: Music is the stuff that feeds our souls, and whatever our bent, we are blessed to have it in our lives. I have real empathy for those who are tone deaf.
