Thread Name: Sitting At The Kitchen Table
Subject: RE: BS: Sitting At The Kitchen Table
Sounds like you had a wonderful time, Billybob! And you must have been wiped out, afterwards. When my wife and I had our 5th wedding Anniversary (we're up to 8, now) we had about 80 people at our house. It was great, great day... very joyful. We renewed our wedding vows with our Pastor, and had the house and our marriage blessed by a wonderful Pastor up here where we live. There was a ton of food, and a lot of music. Even though several family members and friends worked very hard, it's impossible to stay out of the kitchen. No one knows where stuff is, and you end up working anyway. At least we did. Byt the time everyone rolled out, we were bleary eyed, but very happy. If we ever celebrate our 5th Anniversary again, we'll do the same thing! On our 10th Anniversary, we'll most likely go on a trip... either a cruise, or another trip overseas.

One thing I was wondering about sitting here at the table is what type of music do you find yourself listening to most often. I realize that this is a folk (and very secondarily blues) site, but that doesn't necessarily mean that folk music is primarily what everyone on here listens to. Funny thing is, I much mostly enjoy playing folk, by myself and with other musicians, or listening to it "live." I find that in recent years I rarely listen to folk music on records, cassettes or tapes, even though I have a large collection. As far as listening goes, jazz is on my "turntable" most frequently, followed by rhythm and blues and soul music, and then rock, blues, reggae and gospel (mostly the old stuff.) There are some country singers or groups I listen to on occasion, as well as some classical music, and folk, but they don't receive as much air time.

What about the rest of yuz?
