Reggae

Soundtrack (Portal 2)
Unknown Genre

soft rock
pop
folk rock
light jazz
classical
choral music
show tunes
movie sound tracks

everything else except violent hip-hop, serious jazz, twangy country and unharmonic modern classical

i don't like too much in a minor key, either. i don't like clarinets and saxes. give me brass and piano and guitar any day

all my music "library" is physical in that i never had an Ipod or any digital music carrier, just thousands of phonograph records and CDs as well as several turntables, tape decks/digital recorders and CD /recorders/players of various types. this said, i have a sampling of most things [NO RAP!] recorded from the dawn of recorded sound [1877] to roughly the late 90s. the lions' share of my music was recorded between the mid-20s through the mid-80s. my enthusiasm for popular music waned starting in the late 80s and disappeared entirely by the late 90s. i can't get into any music recorded in the last decade or so, it just isn't my cup of tea. my opinion, is that all of the good melodic ideas have been taken up long ago, and just the dregs are left and are being overused at that in today's music. so i guess if i were to categorize what i have, it would fall into the following categories-
*classical- 10%
*movie/show tunes- 5%
*jazz/blues- 35%
*country-western/swing- 10%
*rock and roll/pops- 30%
*new age- 5%
*miscellaneous novelties- 5%
i am a sucker for good recordings of wurlitzer theatrical pipe organ music, as that is my favorite musical instrument, the king of instruments in fact. i wished i lived within driving distance of mesa, AZ so i could visit the Organ Stop Pizza there, to hear their wonderful hybrid wurlitzer organ there, the world's largest. as it is, i have every one of their recordings. i have a treasured [and RARE!] recording of "slam" stewart and major "mule" holley, both double bassists who sang along with their basses as they bowed them, the latter a basso produndo who could sing down really low in exact-pitch unison with his bass, all the way down to the E string. WOW! i have another recording of a piano and contrabassoon duet, showing off the contrabass depths of this monstrous double-reed instrument. probably the majority of my music collection is in the form of LP/45/78 rpm phonographic discs, i have a few that are pretty colors like red and white and yellow and blue.
