I started out with music playing the piano, when I was 10 or 11 years old. It wasn't long before I latched on to Baroque (which usually gets lumped into Classical music, just as the Romantic and later periods do). Later when Bluegrass caught my ear, I wondered at what made it seem 'similar' to Baroque to me. I finally decided that it was: moto perpetuo. I still jump back and forth easily between listening to Baroque and Bluegrass. I love the intertwined melodies of polyphony of the one, and the sometimes complex chord progressions of the other. Anyway, that's my tastes.
