I love going to opera. Opera is like the melting pot for the arts. Theater, music, poetry, acting, dance, and design.

I'll listen to most classical music up to Stravinsky, but my favourites are like big and heavy orchestral works like Romeo and Juliet or Smetana's Ma Vlast. I especially like listening, baton in hand, with a glass of single malt scotch in hand. And loud. Very loud.

I also love straight ahead jazz. Don't quite like the "fusion" stuff, too many notes sometimes gets on my nerves. OK I dig classic Miles, Dexter Gordon, Coltrane... Bill Evans, Oscar Peterson. Lately I've been listening to Brad Mehldau's Art of the Trio.. kinda artsy jazz if there's ever a word to describe it. Hell I like it all.

Then there's 70's rock. I love that stuff. I must have like a five hundred LP's. Great stuff to throw on the 'table when teenagers are around. They dig the stuff.
