For all of you classical music lovers....
I've discovered a wonderful station based in Tuscon, AZ...

KUAT

So far, lots of great music streaming...and not a lot of chatter!

That is a major plus in my book!

Have a listen!

And....Happy Thanksgiving, everybody!

11. You're no dunce, my dear cwydro!
I think we don't always see the potential that our computers have...

Glad you're enjoying the music, sweetie!

Our Thanksgiving doesn't start till later......a couple of hours from now...

So right now, it just feels like an ordinary day...

Well, except that the Lounge is full of my friends, and I'm happy! :loveya:

Thanks for the link. I've got it bookmarked.

Very relaxing and comforting on a Friday night.

In peace,

7. I'm kinda digging it.
Five years ago, I would have switched it off right away. But I'm much more tolerant now, I can even listen to some rap today.. not so a year ago.:loveya:

10. Ah, you're ahead of me, then...
Rap does nothing good for me........

It just isn't melodic enough for me...

I want to be able to hear it in my mind's ear.......

:loveya: back atcha...

12. Check out Lauryn Hill, Peggy...
She uses some rap in her songs...

I think it's very melodic and the videos are so creative. And she's quite beautiful, IMO.

I also like some of Eminem's stuff and Kanye West too.

14. Ahh.. ain't this Dvorak sublime!
I love this station Peggy. Better than any classical station here in NYC, I believe.

Am I always this nice? Unfortunately, no. But to you... most definitely!!:pals:

15. Alas, I dozed through the Dvorak....
But I love his music a lot!

And this Fidelio overture isn't one I've heard, I think....

I appreciate your sweetness today.......:pals: As I always do....

21. Had turkey with my mom, bless her heart.
What about you?

Beethoven's my number one right now, too. But Mozart's right up there with him....

I also adore some specific works by Tchaikovsky, Handel, Ravel, Grieg and Sibelius (Finlandia is so beautiful).:thumbsup:

23. Glad you didn't have to eat alone, my dear speedoo!
My husband and I will be leaving pretty soon to have dinner with our younger daughter, her husband and son...plus a whole lot of other relatives!

It's a fifty mile drive....but the traffic doesn't look too awful!

I have so many fav composers.....all the ones you listed and a whole lot more!

I also adore Finlandia! :thumbsup:

And then there's jazz, and rock! Pretty eclectic tastes, huh? :hug:

25. Drive safely, dear Peggy!
Eclectic indeed.

Bet you like Bob Dylan as well. Graywarrior and I worship him. I've seen him in concert twice in the last 10 days!!

Don't forget to check out Lauryn Hill... I think you'll like her.

Have a wonderful dinner with your daughter and her family.:hug:

24. Son and family are hosting Thanksgiving dinner this Saturday
when all of DIL's family will be in town.

Am just finishing up painting the KILZ on the office walls, then will be blocking with tape for the paint design am doing to that room to turn it into a semi-formal dining room (remember that office room with the green walls and the paned French doors where that musical clock was hanging when you first saw this house? That's the one! :D )

Hope you all have a wonderful dinner tonight and a really great time! I love the Castaic area!

:hug: :loveya: :hi:

Thanks for your good wishes.......we will have fun!

And in fact, I need to get out of here...

See ya later! :loveya: :hug:
