I have narrowed what I hear to only a few artists. They are from different fields, but it's just an overload to try to hear everyone. I do like Tom Waits, however, and recently started listening to Arnaldo Cohen after hearing him in concert. I listened to too much Frank Sinatra that my mother played constantly. As far as jazz is concerned, I collect only Theolonius Monk. I think that he is a primitive genius. <BR>

I've also limited my scope of music to learn. I'll never play all those Chopin Etudes or Beethoven Sonatas - only about half a dozen of each.<BR>

Regards and happy listening,<BR>
