I love good music,I have a huge collection of music on Compact Disc, well over 1500 CDs. One thing I appreciate from the "Church" in the Dark Ages and Renaissance is that they sponsored great music and it survives to this day thanks, in part or in full, to the "Church." I have an eclectic taste in my music, including but not limited to Ancient, Mediaeval, Renaissance, Baroque, Opera, Classical, (real) New Age music. and music from around the world I like a lot of music from the 40s,50s, 60s, 70s. 80s and some from the 90s, but not much especially not most rap, hiphop, and the monotonous repetitive garbage. I also like some Alternative, industrial, punk and nameless others. I have recently listened to some "House?" and I quite liked it too. And I love Filks, I have all of Weird Al Yankovic's stuff, I like his works :o)

You know music hath charms that calms the savage beast, and I like a nice tune too.
