Wow! What a console. All those smileys...

I am coffee.

I'm a fan of music - from Ambrosian chant to New Complexity, from sattriya to tango nuevo, from ars subtilior to punk rock, from the Notre Dame polyphony to gamelan, from reggae to bluegrass, from free jazz to ambient, from opera to broadway musicals.

I don't know much about any of these things. I'm here to learn.

I like that openness! Welcome.

Welcome Coffee! I'm more of a tea man myself, but coffee is okay every now and then.

Greetings, new friend.  I, too, like Ambrosian Chat...along with my serving of Mahler and Bix Beiderbecke.  :)

Welcome! Hope you are a fan of Mahler! :)

This thing you have with Mahler reminds me of the time when the New York Times had a classical Forum. The late Bob Zeidler was a very active member. I finally got to the point with his Mahler where I finally had to diagnose him with Mahleria with a touch of Zenderitis... I think he enjoyed that.....
