You can't be in a bad mood singing this to your animals.
I know they're smiling watching a 6 foot, 220lbs, 66 year old man dancing around in muck boots and a Carhartt jumpsuit.
On a good day I even dance the routine.
Been trying to get the ducks to join in as my dance crew.

Willie Nelson - Phases and Stages (1974) is another one that was recorded wonderfully. It's not one I hear about all that often, but geez is it ever an album that feels warm and cozy under a blanket in front of a fireplace popping and crackling. One that understandably could give ease of mind.

Wagner, Suk, Strauss. The beauty and emotion I find in classical and opera is comforting to me. I also go for near anything from the late 90s and early 2000s as its nostalgic to me. Though some think it politically incorrect, music from the IRA cheers me up.
Old time radio and shows such as The Andy Griffith Program are also good for my heart. Escapism to a time I perceive as having been better, though I did not experience it.

Who me? Well, OK.

I get joy from watching/listening to young women who start out on various “talent” shows (AGT, AM IDOL, the VOICE, etc.) and are amazing re talent & performance.

Try Angelina Jordan who started out at about 6 y.o. on the Norway show and ended up in the USA. She does blues, jazz and modern. When she sings a Billie Holiday song she IS Billie Holiday. Same when she does Ella Fitzgerald, etc. She’s like 20 y.o. now and has a long list of stuff to listed to. Stunning.

Then there’s Jackie Evancho (both as young and as current age), Sara James, Connie Talbot, Gala, Abi Carter (recently as adult), Lucy Thomas, etc.

Listened to Joseph Suk as provided by AussieMike, wonderful piece. I played horn in high school and it gave me the opportunity to travel through Europe in a group called Canadian Youth on Tour. This organization made an annual tour with "gifted" high school students to perform for three weeks in summer, I played second chair. It brought up wonderful memories for me even though Suk was not on our performance list.

@Aussiemike thank-you for taking the time and effort to compile these pieces, it is a wonderful way to get to know an aspect of our membership that I would not otherwise encounter.
