   Owned a music store for decades; used to tell customers “the reason why there are so many recordings in the store is b/c everyone has different tastes!” Yep, it’s a female vocal choir so not many instruments. Glad you tried it!

   Try listening to the music of the Bulgarian Female Vocal choir, like their most famous recording: “The Mystery of the Bulgarian Voices”. I owned a Classical Music store in the 1980s and early 1990s. That recording and others by the Bulgarian Voices were very popular. (I didn’t only carry Classical Music!) I still play the recordings, beautiful and haunting Bulgarian folk singing with unusual harmonies and melodies.

   Anybody else remember that ‘scholarly’ paper on Cartoon Physics that traveled around campuses and then the internet for decades? Still funny!

   1967….so long ago but I well remember reading/enjoying that original strip. Still made me laugh today even knowing ‘the gag’ so well. Haha!

   Do you know Grusin’s “Thank Song”? I bought a copy to play on piano. Beautiful, peaceful piano work of genius. (It was on his Mountain Dance album/CD.)

   Yes, continuing on UlrigJaeger’s comment. I adore the music of Hildegard of Bingen; she was a genius by any account. A few decades ago, the “record of the decade” award was given to a recording on the Hyperion label – “A Feather on the Breath of God”, a recording of Hildegard’s music. One of the most beautiful and soothing recordings ever made. Doesn’t hurt that the pure-toned soprano is the incomparable Emma Kirkby. If you ever have a chance to try it out, you won’t regret it. Try listening to it when you’re stressed out…beautiful!

    I have a large porch and lots of wind chimes. My favorite is one my colleagues got for me after my father passed away – beautiful deep one – they even engraved his name on it. Never fear – my chimes don’t offend anyone b/c we live on 5 acres.
