If you had a musical soul mate, who would it be?

[Grim Chieftain]

Mine is John Denver. That man speaks to my heart. Even though he's been gone decades, his music resonates like no other. I miss his beauty and his vision for our world.

[Aristus]

21. Ludwig van Beethoven.

I’m moody, grumpy, and idealistic and cynical in equal measure. And I am transported by a piece of beautiful music. That keeps me going when all else is despair and hopelessness.

[hlthe2b]

22. Yes... Me too. And I am forever grateful I got to attend his '74 concert at Red Rocks many years ago...

I have attended other concerts there since, but it was my first there, I was pretty young, and it was magical under the stars. John Denver is much missed but never forgotten.
