Do you have a favorite CD or album?
I like so many different types of music that I can never answer that question, but I can tell you that when I'm working in the office, I seem to keep gravitating toward "Romanza," by Andrea Bocelli, and "Closer," by Josh Groban. I've played "Closer" about two and a half times tonight while I've been working. I bet my mother, who's bedroom is next to my office, wishes I would go to bed! *G*
I also love "Standards in Silhouette," by Stan Kenton, and most of the CDs Diana Krall has recorded. I also like the collection of music from the movie "What Women Want." Madeleine Peyroux has grown on me, as well as Jane Monheit, and Eric Clapton and Bill Withers pop up now and then. I have several Chris Botti CDs and need to listen a bit more to decide if one of them might become a favorite. I'd be happy with any of the Beatles albums.
I've been taking brass quintet music to play before exercise for those who come in to walk and warm up. I love the Canadian Brass, and the Empire Brass. Most of the CDs in the office are pop or jazz. The classical music is out in the living room. Which reminds me....I have to get the Bose repaired. I think the CD player is on the fritz. One more chore to add to the list!

I have a pretty eclectic collection too Buffy. I love so many different kinds of music. I've got some Andrea Bocelli, Diana Krull and Jane Monheit too. I don't know how many dozens of times I've listened to Jane...I love her voice. I've got a lot of Celine Dion, Norah Jones, Faith Hill, Linda Eder and Tony Braxton too. Many times I'll buy a CD of an artist I'm not that familiar with. I've had some very pleasant surprises...and some disappointments as well. I often listen to my "best hits" CD's....Elton John, Hall and Oates, Barbara Streisand, Santana, Whitney Houston, Billy Joel, etc. One of the things I love most are the "oldies." I've got many CD's like that. I have a whole set of "hits from the 70's." Sometimes I just turn on the Bose and let the nostalgia begin.

Joy, I'll look into Linda Eder and Tony Braxton, but I'm right with you on all the rest. I might even get the Billy Joel CD out now! *G*
bod, Yes to all, but I don't know Ultravox. Would you like to recommend a specific CD?

Tijuana Brass! A blast from the past! I think I had every one of their albums way back when!
I'll add EmmyLou Harris and Heidi Berry to my wish list. If you're recommending it, it's got to be good! *S*
