Hello. . .from a 50-something man who loves a variety of music, prefering folk/acoustic, "quiet," contemplative, meaningful music and lyrics from the 60's, 70's, to today. (If I played guitar I'd be a "James Taylor type.") I am a servant and disciple of Christ, apart from the religion of mainstream Christianity. Therefore, my favorite songs are those written by my friends and family in the congregation God has put me into: those born of the Spirit by Jesus' baptism. They are wonderful songs that edify the holy Spirit in our hearts and give glory to God. For a listen, browse SongsOfRest.com. They are not included on Pandora, so I occasionally enjoy the variety of secular music for background atmosphere as I work from home. My favorite secular artists are Mary Chapin Carpenter, Don McLean, John Denver, pianists Paul Cardall and Jim Chappell, ambient composer Patrick O'Hearn, eccentric guitar genius Leo Kottke, and the unique jazz of Pat Metheny and Lyle Mays. I also like the playful inventiveness of the Diddy Bops! Traditional instrumental bluegrass. Alison Krauss. Great folk voices: Kate Wolf, Kate Rusby, Loreena McKennitt, and Judy Collins. Light jazz/pop: Kenny Rankin. Indie folk: Alexi Murdoch. Joshua Radin. The versatile band Carbon Leaf. Movie soundtracks, and Broadway musicals. (Not too many of them included on Pandora) I hope you find what you like on Pandora, and discover new artists, as I have.
