Favorite Music

New discoveries and old favorites!
When preparing for our cruising lifestyle, Steve bought me a 120 GB iPod Classic. I immediately started checking out CDs and movies from the library and borrowing from friends. It didn't take long to fill up the hard drive on my laptop so I picked up an external hard drive just for the iTunes Library. Our boat stereo is iPod compatible and we have music playing continuously. Over the months at sea we shared our library with PASSPORT as well as other boats and gained their collections as well. We now have over 10,000 songs and hundreds of movies on an even larger 1TB external drive. Discovering artists that I was previously unfamiliar with is my favorite part of expanding the Library. For instance Carbon Leaf! I am not sure who gave me that but I love Carbon Leaf, and Randy Newman and Adele... Oh My! I have to add Xenia to my list!
I decided to do a favorite list and hope it will generate suggestions for additional artists that may make this list. OMG, this is so much harder than I thought. Sorry Elsa....I now know how hard it is to create a small list of favorites :) so here is as short a list as I could come up with. And I barely touched on Classic Rock! The list is in alphabetical order for now, but that is subject to change. Hmmm, by Genre, by most favorite, by......
