I have started going through some of the stuff that I have in my my music collection while I post. It's a while since I listened to this.
Leonard Cohen ~ Greatest Hits.

I'm not a massive fan but I do like Dance Me To The End Of Love, Hallelujah, Everybody Knows (I first heard Rufus Wainwright song this) Also A Thousand Kisses Deep, it's used in the film Le Bruit Des Glacons, I had no idea it was Cohen until recently, how I didn't realise, he has a pretty distinctive voice!
I have periods of liking a certain type of music or musician. Shirley Ellis, The Ink Spots, various electro swing, but at the moment it's all about The Specials and a few other ska songs. I DON'T dance but I have a hard time not moving to Little Bitch.

I am a bit like that, having periods of listening to specific types of music. But I also like to expand my horizons by going to places like YouTube and Amazon Prime Music and either playing something completely random, or something that has some sort of connection to what I have liked in the past. If I like it, I try to find out more. It takes me to some interesting places, especially as I try to go beyond my original mindset. Now I have a particularly eclectic and international mindset on music.
Currently listening to Emmylou Harris.

That's what happens sometimes with me. I heard The Name Game on an episode of American Horror Story:Asylum so searched out Shirley Ellis stuff. There's a great video of Shirley Ellis singing The Nitty Gritty with 3 woman and 3 men dancing to it. Search on Google, I think it's available at dailymotion but it's not letting me paste the link! The guy at the from is totally dancing like there's no one watching. Brilliant.
And I heard If I Didn't Care on a music used in Woody Allen films so elsearched some more out.

That second link is just gorgeous! The way it builds up to the Prince solo - just soft and gentle and then it winds up and winds up until they are all totally wrapped up in producing this amazing layered sound of guitar.

There's an urban legend about the guitar he throws in the air at the end. No-one saw it land.

Today I was listening to a special CD made by a musician friend who sadly passed away and his wife which was given out at a memorial concert last night.
I have a wide ranging taste in music but with one caveat. It has to be tuneful with a recognisable melody. I really don't like discordant noise. Makes my ears ache.

Early blues from the likes of Muddy Waters and Howlin' Wolf, followed by a bit of early Dylan.
