Do you think it's the Latin thing that makes the music attractive? It never seemed to be for me, but then I've always enjoyed listening to music sung in languages I couldn't speak or understand. I was a big fan of Edith Piaf (like my FAVE "Je Ne Regrette Rien") in the 60s too. I always thought my love of medieval music made me an odd guy out, rather than one of the flock...

I've always loved plainsong, chant, sean nos, all that sort of stuff. In fact, if there was any music I discovered as a child of the 60s that "transported" me to the spiritual side of life, it would be that very sort of music.

For some reason, gospel music never did it for me in the same way, despite my really being into the energy and verve of it. I grew up watching TV Gospel Time, etc. and loved it. But gospel music never did it for me the way that medieval music did.
