Thread Name: What Music is in Your Car Stereo?
Subject: RE: What Music is in Your Car Stereo?
I'm not commuting anymore, thank God, and there's no player on my bicycle, but while I drove every day last summer and fall...

blues compilations, mostly from Aligator Records...classical compilations, mostly baroque with some Holst and Vaughn Williams...lots of Led Zeppelin, mostly the several best-of collections...Stevie Ray Vaughan...Maddy Prior...Sue Foley...Little Feet...Oscar Peterson with Stephan Grapelli...Rolling Stones...Simon Mayor...The Seldom Scene...various folk (singer-songwriter) compilations from samplers and Folk Alliance releases...Rush...Danny Gatton...Roy Buchanan...Loretto Reid and Brian Teheny...Leo Kottke...some choral stuff...

That's all I can think of at the moment.

I do recall sitting at an intersection (waiting for the lights to change in a small town) with the windows open and Simon Mayor's "Buttermere Waltz" blasting away, and my head bopping around to the music, all to the incredulous stares of a gaggle of slack-jawed teenage loiterers. I think I suddenly realized that no matter how I feel, I'm not 18 anymore (or even twice that) 'cause I didn't even have the slightest twinge of self-consciousness. "I'm a boy and I'm a man, I'm 18 and I like it." (Alice Cooper)

Btw, maybe this should be for another thread but, am I alone when I say that traditional music rocks and swings alot harder than rock music does these days? Just a thought.

Peace, Mooh.
