Hey everyone, bring all of this stuff. I'm not familiar with a lot of it. I always like to hear new music!

I won't be playing that trash! Two exceptions: Alison Krauss and Mark Knopfler.

I think it is stupid for audiophiles to adopt the WORST in World Music, and then think they are being "smart" somehow.

For GOOD music, look elsewhere than this very, very sorry list!

A FEW rooms play GOOD music, and people are using those rooms for a blessed RELIEF from SICK music!

I remember when Von Gaylord played Mary Black, "Looking Back" (album). THAT was very good!
