Nope sorry, don't listen to the stuff most of the time, only on rare occasions (fine resaurants, and such...)

I do however try to play some classical guitar...:-)

I have very wide tastes & like most types of music. Wish I knew more about Classical. I always enjoyed Mozart in particular. My daughter is a classically trained musician (BA Hon degree) & I obviously got used to her practicing at home on the piano & flute. I enjoyed going to the concerts when she played in the school concert band, the Sussex County Youth Orchestra & later with the university orchestra & choir.

She told me only yesterday that her old school music teacher was recently awarded the MBE for his services to music in a career lasting more than 30 years. This is one occasion when this honour is much-deserved. Besides teaching at the school & taking the band all over Europe during the school holidays he plays the organ in a local church & teaches the church choir. I never figured out how he finds the time to do it all. Well done Mr Kearney. :D

Well I do enjoy classical and am frequently caught listening to Bach, Beethoven or Wagner at full blast. Failing that there is always the Rolling Stones, Little Richard, The Beech Boys etc ;) ;D

I have an expensive keyboard myself. I haven't played it for at least 7 years. Probably considered antique now. ::)

Come to that I haven't played any musical instrument for 7 years. Shame really.

I dont listen to classical, but I like a modern panio piece called "Magic Waltz" from Ennio Morricone. It came form the movie Legend of 1900. My dad found the song on my computer, liked it and copied it. I like it because it kind of sooths me for some odd reason.

When I have a chance to listen to classical its good, but most of my music money is spent on something other than music  :'( like....gas, edible food, better flight gear, once a year splurge on clothing, and saving for certain special projects  ::) ;)

I like to listen to classical.  (I listen to a little bit of everything though.   ;)) I don't know anyone's names though.   :-[

Is that a lute on the left side, Fozzer?  It almost looks like a cardboard cutout.   ;)  It must be the angle that the picture was taken.  Nice collection.
