> > > I listen to music all day, even when I am at work. I like so many, I don't think I could pick an absolute favorite. One band I have liked for a number of years now is Blue Rodeo (they are Canadian, and so am I eh!). Alot of their lyrics are so moving for me that I could listen to some songs over and over.

> > I'm the same way. Up until recently I have always had music on or am singing. There are so many different groups and singers that I love. It would take pages to list them. Maybe I'll just list kinds of music instead. Let's see there's rock, R&B, blues, folk, jazz singing. Hmmmm too open-ended but still don't want to bore you all with a long list. Maybe I'll just mention Leonard Cohen. Anyone ever heard of him? Love his music and his lyrics are the best. (Now I'm really showing my age - and my eccentricity.)

> ~~~ Me too - I like blues, r&b, jazz, rock. Music is a life-force for me I think. I need a healthy dose of it each day. Find it hard to concentrate without music in the background.

> Leonard Cohen, ah yes. He, I think, is an acquired taste. His lyrics are great, but his voice . . . hmmm definitely an acquired taste. I like to listen to him once in a while, when I am in the mood. I have always liked Jennifer Warnes' album - Famous Blue Raincoat, which is a compilation of Leonard Cohen's songs. It's old, but I still like it.
> >Yes, but once you acquire the taste, it's great. His voice is strange at first but I find it oddly soothing. I have that Jennifer Warnes' album. It's really an interesting interpretation of his work. I love the title song. It's a great title, don't you think?
