The majority of the stuff quoted here is a mystery to me, although a young 64, I moved from Glenn Miller type music straight to Classical. I do enjoy some other stuff if it's done well or a really clever song...Marty Robbins ' El Paso ', Davey Arthur's ' Green fields of France ',
even George Formby's . Thanks Mr Roosevelt '
My MP3 has all the above plus opera favourites, arias, Don McLean, the Marx brothers. Even the Wehrmacht singing the 'Horst Wessel '
For those Rimsky lovers above, I have a piece that I've never heard on the radio in 35 years of listening to Radio 3 and Classic FM, ' The Invisible City of Kitesh '
I love the 'East European ' composers particularly. The Piano Concerto is probably my favourite type.....Shostakovich, Hummel, Scriabin and of course Chopin.
We're all different, thank the Lord !

In fact, I'm just going to go on HMV and see if the Invisible City is out on CD...I've got it on tape.
