I go through that. I've been listening to classical somewhat exclusively for nearly a year now, prior to which I mightn't've been listening to it for a year. I can't remember, actually.

Right now.

Yep.

I'm pretty much not listening to non-classical right now.

Yep.

Life is like that.

Indeed. Do you ever listen to non-classical anymore?

Only occasionally: Emmylou, the Dead, Van Morrison, Leonard Cohen. I've been in a classical mood for over a year now. I can't recall the last non-classical CD I bought...it must have been a very long time ago...oh, now I remember: a Jerry Garcia Band 3CD set last October.

I guess I don't find any one genre completely satisfying. I need all of them...apparently.  ;D

I've been on a blues kick for about a week -- started off with lots of Muddy Waters, then jumped around to Lightning Hopkins, Sonny Boy Williamson (my wife: "what the HELL are you listening to?" ;D ), John Lee Hooker, Robert Cray, currently spinning one of those big anniversary sets from Alligator Records.  I'll migrate back to classical fairly soon, though.  I go through phases.  :)

Nor is not moved with concord of sweet sounds,
Is fit for treasons, stratagems, and spoils.
The motions of his spirit are dull as night,
And his affections dark as Erebus.
Let no such man be trusted.

Yeah, me too. Right now I'm listening to a lot of old time music. At this minute, it's Grandpa Jones.  :D

I did pick up the 1920's Mississippi John Hurt Okeh CD, BTW -- as you said, great stuff!  I was surprised by how decent the sound was (and the fact that Borders had it on the shelf for six bucks).  The only other blues of that vintage that I have is the old Robert Johnson boxset, which may be remastered too by now for all I know.

If I'm ever in Minnesota, we should have a beer :)

Glad you liked it. If you ever want to hear anyone else of that vintage, you may want to check out Blind Blake or Blind Willie McTell. Or Tampa Red. I like all those Piedmont-style guys.

And a beer sounds good. :)

I know what you mean. My cycles tend to span great swathes of time, though. When Morrison died (so soon after Joplin and Hendrix), I basically stopped listening to popular music. That lasted five years  ;D Then when punk/new wave hit, I stopped listening to classical for three years. So it goes.

The new Bob Dylan album hits today so I'm going to be all about that at least for a little while.  8)

Yesterday, I dipped into some Rachmaninoff trios. George knows the recording I'm talking about. ;)
