Don't know about you, but I love music. I always have the radio or the cd player on when I'm at home.

I have an electic taste in music, everything from gospel to folk to country to r+b, etc. I like so many different genres that it's always difficult for me to tell anyone who my favorite artist is.

But when it comes to country, handsdown George Jones is the best. Willie Nelson and Alabama, Kris Kristofferson and Patsy Cline, just to name a few, are big on my list too.

Rock 'n roll, nobody can beat Bob Seger. Lynyrd Skynyrd is on my list too.

Have you heard that 30-something year old cd by Carole King, Tapestry? Wow, it blows me away each time I listen to it.

What about Andrea Boccelli? Are you familiar with him? If you would have asked me 'do you like opera music, Tawny?' I would have said no, all the while Andrea Boccelli was blasting out of my stereo speakers. I had no idea he was considerred opera, I just liked him. Still do.

Folk music is Arlo Guthrie, John Prine, Steve Goodman, Tom Paxton, Josh White Jr. And a bunch of other artists whose names I can't think of but when I hear them on the radio on Saturday morning (WDET 101.9FM), 12 noon to 3 pm est, I stop what I'm doing to get my listen on.

Womens music is Holly Near. If you've never heard anything by Holly you are so missing out on a lovely voice. www.hollynear.com
Chris Williamson, Meg Christian, I like them too.

R&B is Maze. They make music so good it'll make your toes curl up. And Aretha Franklin. Oh my! Just got her new cd today, So Damn Happy, and it's great.

And to paraphrase from the first track on So Damn Happy.....Woke up this morning to a perfect day, the only thing missing is you.....
