Yes, I do like classical music but don't listen to it very often....mainly at Christmastime.
I was raised on classical and opera although I never did take to opera. I remember Leontyne Price and at Christmas Mom and Dad would play that vinyl over and over again. I do love her rendition of Ave Maria and O Holy Night. I looked for them on the net to download but couldn't find it. I guess it's been taken over by The Puffies or Neon Vomit or some other modern day band.
I don't really have a favourite composer but Beethoven stands out...I guess because that's what I heard most of growing up.
Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, champagne in one hand and strawberries in the other, body thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and screaming WOO HOO - What a Ride!
