If I'm in the car, I listened to the local Georgia University station, and they're now aligned with PBS and NPR.  That means if I do out in the car in the moring, I'll probably be listening to classical music.  However, if I go out on Sunday morning, they'll usually have a guest their chatting with, so we may hear anything from pop, rock 'n roll, country, or jazz.  If I'm listening at home, it depends on what I'm doing and how I'm feeling, so I may pull up YouTube videos of classical, rock 'n roll, Big Band music, or old country artists, because the last two take me back to my childhood, since they were played on the record player.   🥰

I used to have an 8-track player, but my car was busted into and it was stolen after I'd had it for a year, and the crooks took all of the 8-track tapes that I had too.  😞

I can remember the days when AM/FM radio wasn't enough and the effort to get the best cassette player, which morphed into CDs, and of course, you just had to replace the radio that came with the car...As technology progressed, it was a status symbol to have the latest and greatest...I can still remember when reel-to-reel was the hottest thing to have in the house. And don't get me started on all the various speakers you had to have!

I'm the sort who loves all kinds of music, country, rock, southern rock, bluegrass, and some of the early gospel folk songs, along with some classical. Currently, I am exploring my Sirius subscription that came with the new truck. I've restored a pre-WW2 car, I call it my fifteen-year fundsarelow project. I can play on my cell, Glen Miller and his big band music...what a treat!

Well, here in the center of the universe, Central Massachusetts, a little Marshall Tucker is playing while I make breakfast!

Yee haa...scramble those eggs and don't burn the toast!!!

Do you know if that was a recorder or a flute that was playing in the middle of that song?  

My CD collection has Classical (less than other genres), Jazz, Rock and Heavy Metal. I'm not a big fan of Folk music although I'll listen to something once in a while.

I've found my taste in music has changed over time. It's now less about rip-roaring, head-banging music. I mostly listen to music on the Tidal Audio streaming service even when I already own the CD; I can find something for every mood; I can get access to better than CD quality. And, now that I've bought a pair of noise-canceling, wireless headphones from Bowers & Wilkens (30 hours on a full charge) I can take my streaming music everywhere with me without plugging in.

I don't listen to music in the car. I find it a distraction from paying attention to the road and other Massachusetts drivers (absolutely unpredictable behavior), but I've also learned that those drivers from New Hampshire and Rhode Island are only marginally better behaved on the road.

I would think flute...

I personally don't think there has been a decent country song done in over 25 years, but I do enjoy country songs more from the 50's to 90's era.  I like classic rock, blues, bluegrass, jazz, classical, instrumental, well basically anything except modern country, gangsta rap, and polka...  

I listen more off my laptop, tablet, or TV, rarely listen to music in the car unless it is a really long road trip, and then more likely to listen to an audio book.

Thanks for the look back at this past week.  

I knew all the words of the week, but never realized spelling counted, I would never get half of them spelt right.  LOL.

My radio stations play soft rock, soul music, anthem rock and mega hits from the '60's to today but I mostly avoid rap, indie rock and punk.  My CD collection includes about 40 discs of classical music, 70 discs of rock and roll, several big band discs, some jazz, some folk music, and some Broadway show soundtracks. I have some country as well....

A friend has a working 8-track player and a few 8-track tapes which have not worn out, but his favorites all wore out years ago.

Definitely, Jerry Eubanks is shown as playing flute for the band.

For me, music is mood dependent. Usually, in the background, it is soft Jazz or Classical on the radio.

When I can choose, my favorites are Händel and Carpentier, very old stuff.

At work, I have angry programming music aka Heavy Metal.

But I can also listen to Psytrance, and Hardcore, especially Christobal Pesce and Fantasm.

All over the place...
