Finally, i can talk to others about my great love of Praelude no.1, by JSB. without worrying that im either confusing or boring them. The piece is deceptively and elegantly simple in pattern and overall composition.
The first time i heard it was via harpsichord. My ears were not yet ready to hear all the subtle movements. I found it easier to hear this done on a piano.
There is something so very satisfying about this little ditty which was written to train his sons during their early childhood.

HA! Won't bore anyone here. Lots of music lovers here at FR. Personally, I like all kinds of music. My playlist on my computer has everything from Bach to Zevon. I figured this thread might get others to point to some suggestions, and it has. I'll be exploring some of these links over the next couple of days.

I think many folks would be surprised at some of the fantastic stuff coming out of bluegrass these days. There have been some remarkable crossovers. There are some blues and bluegrass players out there with some serious classical training, and it shows.
