I can listen to almost anything musical. I cannot understand Progressive Jazz so I don't care for it. If I had a better musical education it might make a difference. I also don't care for Opera and again mostly because I don't understand the words and I prefer instrumentals over vocals. Hip Hop is the last genre I don't listen to. My step-dad was a drummer so I grew up listening to all kinds of music from the 40's onward. Some of my peers thought I was really strange because I was in my 20's and had Mantovani, Raymond LeFevre, Gunther Kallman Chorus (with bells )and lots of other wierd to them LP's. Along with The Who, Led Zeppelin, Deep Purple etc. I realize this is probably a lot more information than you wanted to know I just thought it might give you some insight into the person you talk to now and then on this board. I really enjoy this board as I learn a lot from reading the posts here. I just wish I could contribute something worthwhile now and then. If you ever need any advice on hydraulic turbine repair maybe I can help
