Ya I don't care where you go the experience is the same. Get on a large jumbo passenger with perhaps 350 passengers and ask them "What is the best music"? You will hear from all 350 and each say different. Classical, classical rock, blue grass easy listening and on it will go. Guess what? Each one will be absolutely correct! Personally I listen to it all, almost. I love jazz because that's what I dedicated myself to as a young musician. I still love Jazz but today I enjoy as much of the classics and opera as anything if not more. My favorite? String Quartets. Chamber music in the form of string quartets. So much so that it is what I enjoy 60 percent of my listening time. There are others who enjoy much of my favorites but will allow them to enter at the convenience. Train

Bach. Especially the unaccompanied violin sonatas & partitas. If they are transcribed for guitar, all the better!
Anything by Bach. Also Scarlatti played on a modern piano as opposed to harpsichord.

Bach is the best and my favorite. I use alot of his stuff in my songs, when we played live I used his stuff alot like Yngwie malmsteen You can see this in The Mist..on youtube, By my old band Wicked Savyor..spelled just like that, there is another out there spelled savior..wrong guys. I wrote all the classical pieces on the album. and did alot of it on acoustic. Not sure if the live version is on there or not. anyway, that would be at the Sands casino in Northern mich. I wrote almost all the songe on that album called Fallen..and ours was done before that chick singers band with the same name came out Forgot that bands name, anyway her song was i'm going under.

I was a pro, i gave that up, tired of the Club owners, getting to old to haul all the crap around,no places want to pay that much anymore. All my time goes to my tomato farm P.K.S Heirloom Tomatoes. It is hard work but i like it. I have been doing the music thing a long time, even when I was in college thats how I payed alot of bills, but you got payed alot better then, I am suprised I even got any passing grades back then because of the band schedule..MANY late nights with NO sleep at all. I will still do studio work now and then..but i don't look for it. I have even done some {Darth chokes and shudders} country sessions. My guitar is a ho. I played all over this country..new York was the worst...I was there with my band Crazytrain {Ozzy Tribute} and it snowed so bad you could not see the road, the snow was deeper than anything i have ever seen here in northern Michigan, and they didn't let you smoke in the bar!! Yeah, time to hang it up...I did have some REAL good times though...hehehe

I enjoy Classical Music as much as anyone...when the mood strikes. I have an entire shelf (about 5 foot long of just classical),unfortunately its a bottom shelf and I don't get down there much. Besides, when working in the garden, what do you hum, sing or whistle, not usually classical for me. Could well be "The next time I'm in town" by Chet Atkins and Mark Knopler, (also done by The Cluster Pluckers"), or maybe a Norman Blake tune, after all my voice is almost as good as his. ;D I love Tom Rush and really wish I had a voice like that. If your unfamiliar with him give any of his albums a try. From his early blues days to "Trolling for Owls". My personal favorite is "Ladies Love Outlaws" with songs like: Desperados waiting for a train, Hobo's Mandolin, Black Magic Gun or his famous No Regrets. But this is about Classical Music...does Tom Rush's "Classic Tom Rush" count? Enjoy! Camo

i think we all define classical relevant to our own individual tastes?

When it comes to the great classics there is something for everyone and as Camo pointed out, classical loosely used can mean anything from classical jazz and classical rock and that is loose. Heheh Train
