Some of you might be shocked, but I dig bluegrass. Yeah, a beaner liking bluegrass, ha.

But I do...the weirdest thing, that I'm not much into country music (although some is ok), but like and prefer bluegrass, go figure. Yeah, I know, country music is super popular, and bluegrass is not, I don't care...

I also like folk music.

Oh, and New Age too.

Love jazz, blues, classical, rock (duh), funk, some traditional Mexican (not all), old world music, opera, etc.

Peruvian Andes pan flute stuff always gives me joy, as well as Tibetan monk stuff, it's just cool to me.

Classical movie soundtracks rule...without them...movies would suck, period.

Used to like heavy metal, but now it gives me a headache, sign of my age, lol.

I have quite an eclectic taste in music, I know.

RIP Mr Stanley...

Ralph Stanley's music can be heard front and center in Oh Brother Where Art Thou, which is a great film in its own right with a fantastic soundtrack to boot.
