Pandora

I highly advise that you go to Pandora on the Internet. It's free Internet radio that you can listen to. I've been listening to a lot of early blues and folk music from Pandora lately. I like to put it on while I'm washing the dishes or cooking. Thank goodness for music. As much as I like to intellectualize art, there comes a time when we need to stop talking about art and start enjoying it. People would be happier, methinks, if they took more time to watch good movies, listen to good music, look at good paintings, watch good plays, and read good stories. Taking in good music is good for the soul.

Here's some old blues stuff I recommend: Robert Johnson, Blind Willie McTell, and Leadbelly.

For folk music, I recommend Woody Guthrie. I'm pretty sure Bob Dylan called Woody "the end all and be all of folk music."

For show tunes, I recommend the Wicked soundtrack.

We live in a marvelous age. My heart beats with joy when I ponder upon the amount of musical options we have before us.

Stop reading this blog post and start listening to good music.
