Music is relaxing for most of us. It is an artistic medium that soothes and inspires. When it comes to music, I like most of it! Jazz, classical, rock, church music. What venues do you enjoy most? Concert halls, symphonies, jazz clubs?

Will you share your favorite music with us?

@hopeful33250 I played bass and guitar in a bluegrass gospel group for 20 years. I really enjoy all bluegrass music, old hymns, country and classic rock. I sit in my basement and play music 3 or 4 times a week. There are a lot of outdoor bluegrass festivals in the summer time. I am currently taking banjo lessons (although tonight's class has been canceled due to the coronavirus).

@hopeful33250 My favorite music varies depending on what I am doing. When I am in the gym or pool I find that Latin music is energizing, or anything with a good, strong beat.
Classical is good for relaxing, but I listen to popular music the most. I say popular but it's not what's popular today. My favorite artist is Billy Joel. Neil Diamond used to be but that changed. I do like some of his songs still, and his song "America" is another great one for exercising with. I can get the elliptical up to 4 miles an hour when that's on! I used to love Andrea Bocelli but I got tired of not understand what he was singing!
I am not much of a country fan, but every now and then a country song hits me. I loved "I hope you Dance" and gave the single to my daughter with a book that had the lyrics.
