I also like classic rock and alternative metal in addition to classical and jazz. And the blues --- Stevie Ray Vaughn on guitar, Armstrong, Bechet on horn. Love percussion, but hate vibraphones.
I love acoustic guitar, esp Spanish and Latin American guitar. Flamenco. Tropicál. I like FIRE esp. in classical music. I don't want to be put to sleep.
I like pretty much everything except modern country, sugar pop, and rap. And girly hair bands from the 80's.
BTW do you have access to a decent library?
Depends on the subject :) I own a few thousand books on certain subjects I'm interested in, so between that and the Internet I have pretty good access to works on esp. religion and history (my majors), philosophy (my minor), martial arts and Chinese herbalism (one of my jobs), psychology (something I'm interested in writing about), writing and publishing (my career goal), and certain fiction authors like Tolkien. Beyond that I have access to a small-town library system which isn't as good as what a big city or major college would have but allows me general access to a lot of stuff. Why do you ask?--did you have a book to recommend?
