Now I just need to figure out who sings all the new songs I like...

Finger 11? Good new music out there, and I need to do some catching up. I like new rock, I'm done with all the Zep and Van Halan... but enjoy a bit of the older stuff now and then. A local station really turned me off all the heavy played rock from the 70's and 80's.

Music is a good thing!

Yes, I've listened to a lot of what Schubert wrote.

.... leise flehen meine Lieder .... (Ständchen)


"You've got some good stuff there!"

.... and there is more ...

If you get the chance you should listen to Galina Oestvolskaja (born 1919) pianosonata number 5. 🙄

Agreed that Bach is the excellent, the Easter Oratorio, the Brandenburg concertos and the Well-Tempered Klavier in particular.
