Well...I have a hard time admitting this in the presence of so many younger members...but I am a dedicated fan of hard-core classical music. Always have been and always will be. However, I also have a fondness for Devo, B-52, and ABBA...venues which might qualify as classical music in the eyes of some. Drives my MoTown-loving and rock-loving wife nuts because she can't understand why I love listening to all the old dead guy music and still like the weird stuff like Devo. Can't explain it but it's there.
Anyway, if it rocks...it rocks...no matter which century it comes from!
Nothing can quite match the majesty of Bach, Beethoven, Mozart, Hayden, and all their brethren in scope and richness of sound! And nothing for me is more relaxing than sitting up in the shop listening to their works while smoking a good cigar and reading.
