OT: favorite non-Irish music?
Hi,
This is my first time posting a topic, and it's kind of irrelevant, but oh, well. Pitchfork's recent comment about liking Miles Davis has made me realize what a well-rounded group of people pipers are, so I was just wondering about this.

gotta agree with Pitchfork about whisky and Miles Davis. Throw in Muddy Waters and Howlin' Wolf and now you're cookin'. oooooooohhhh smokestack lightnin'....
I do like other kinds of traditional music from Europe, Africa, and Asia, but I listen almost exclusively to irish trad. Too much to learn, too little time.

I listen to Irish music almost exclusively, but classical music is my next choice. I also like old big band music ala Glenn Miller, etc.

Oh, yeah: also a mod here, not a spammer. A matter of opinion, perhaps. - Location: Lefse country

I hardly ever listen to recorded Irish music anymore....I guess I get enough doing band work, playing at sessions or just playing at home alone....anyway, I have always preferred it live.
Funnily enough, I often tune into WDVX bluegrass radio on the internet. It used to be broadcast from a trailer ("caravan" in Oz) in Knoxville Tn. but I think they've moved into something a little larger.
One of their announcers used to sound like Dolly Parton on speed..hilarious
Great station, with some great music.
