Now that women are jockeys, baseball umpires, atomic scientists, and business executives, maybe someday they can master parallel parking. – Bill Vaughan

RE: What kind of music do you enjoy?
Monserrat Figueras, the Catalan early music soprano and wife of Jordi Savall, died a couple of months ago. Hesperion's last album was Mare Nostrum, a journey through the Meditarranean.

[Excerpt] Nowadays, our common sea is like an invisible Wall dividing the planet into frightened North and desperate South,
separating world communities that have got used to distrusting “the other” and keeping their distance. The Arab world and
the Jewish world seem to have forgotten their former fruitful kinship; Muslim East and Christian West have become locked
in a dialogue of the deaf.
If we are to restore some hope to our disoriented humanity, we must go beyond a mere dialogue of cultures and beliefs
towards a dialogue of souls. As we stand at the beginning of the 21st century, that is the irreplaceable mission of art. And
that is exactly what we feel as we listen to this superb music from around the Mediterranean, the product of diverse times
and lands. Suddenly we discover, or rather rediscover, that those civilisations we had thought of as remote from one
another, even as enemies, are astonishingly close and intimately connected to one another.
on this journey in time and space, we constantly find ourselves wondering whether the conflicts to which we have grown
accustomed might in the end be illusory, and whether the true nature of human beings and cultures is to be found in this
dialogue of instruments, voices, chords, cadences, gestures, improvisations and common breath. We then feel welling up
in us a profound joy, born out of an act of faith: the diverse does not have to be a prelude to the adversarial; our cultures
are not enclosed behind impenetrable barriers; our world is not doomed to interminable rifts; it can still be saved...
After all, hasn’t that, since the dawn of the human adventure, been the overriding purpose of art?

RE: What kind of music do you enjoy?
What kind of music? One that doesn't make you want to kill someone, like in Polish restaurants (or even doctors' offices) that play chaotic pop belonging rather in discos or pubs.
Last week the Minneapolis Star-Tribune reported that transit officials have started to play Beethoven, Bach, Mozart, Strauss and Handel at the Lake Street light rail station in an effort to dissuade criminal behavior.
The "classical music strategy" began last summer after complaints that the station had become "a haven for rowdy teens and vagrants." The idea is that potential criminals find classical music so detestable that they won't hang around the station long enough to realize their criminal potential:
"If it encourages some people to wander away because it's not their favorite type of music, I guess that's okay," said Acting Transit Police Chief A.J. Olson.
Silly as that sounds, Minneapolis isn't alone on this one. The city was inspired by a similar effort in Portland, which began to broadcast classical at a MAX station in late 2010. Oregon lawmakers liked the tactic so much that they proposed a bill [PDF] that would require light rail stations in high-crime areas to play classical music as long as they remain open. (It's been trapped in committee since June.)
In fact, a long line of cities have implemented the classical music strategy in more or less the same fashion. The Atlanta transit system, MARTA, pumped Handel through its speakers a few years back. Transport for London, which runs the Tube system, expanded its broadcast of Mozart, Vivaldi, Handel, and others to dozens of stations after a successful pilot run in 2003.
The list goes on. In the late 1990s Toronto played Chopin at its Kennedy subway station. And New York City introduced classical into the Port Authority earlier in the decade....

What kind of music do you enjoy ?
I think my favorite style is Rock, but I almost love all the style/genre of music.
