Thoughts About My Music Listening
Ok so this morning as I was writing my morning post I listened to Ann Sweeten’s 2016 release Where Butterflies Dance. The album is an album full of beautiful piano music. That album must have finished, before I was done writing because when I went back to Spotify, after finishing writing my post, a different piano artist’s music was playing!
I worked around my room I continuing to listen to piano music. Then I listened to Peter Kater‘s latest release Dancing on Water. Through the years I have enjoyed Peter’s music. Particularly his collaborative efforts with R Carlos Nakai.
Then this afternoon we went to my to my son Andrew’s house to celebrate my birthday. (October 1st) We were also celebrating my son Nicholas’ birthday which was last week. On the drive to Paulsboro, I put on Up All Night Albert Castiglia’s new blues album. As I listened to the third track of the album Three Legged Dog, I wondered: How can a person who likes the beautiful pianos of Ann Sweeten and Peter Kater, like Albert Castiglia? Is it typical for someone’s musical taste to span genres so diverse?
How Diverse is Your Music Listening?
The question of the night is, therefore: Is your music listening diverse or Is it limited to one genre? As I was writing this post, I thought about Ray Wylie Hubbard and his song “When She Sang Amazing Grace”. Ray says he thought he was going to make millions with that song because it merged Gospel Music and Honky-Tonk music! A great idea right???? Or is it??? How wide is your music listing?
