Music

Lively refrains of a sweet melody
Frenetic picking of a banjo plus three
Piano player with tips in a jar
Head shaking boys playing screaming guitars
Symphony orchestra, soft brass and strings 
Meditation rhythms with hums and pings
Amateurs on You tube streaming songs they wrote
Large gospel choir singing full throat
Mellow, sounds, of a saxophone
Loud boisterous blow of a slide trombone
Rap or hip-hop thumps the new generation
Blues are therapeutic in moderation
Soprano or baritone, opera or stage
Little black notes on a manuscript page
Regardless the occasion, regardless of age
Someone is listening to the music that plays

A rich celebration of my second favourite passion... the only thing you left out was the polka, (just kidding!) Young and old, the classical and the kids' raucous enthusiasms, you have pretty much encompassed all the varieties. Well done Daniel! Best wishes, Keith

Wow! Dan, you did not miss anyone from what I could tell. However, I think that the folksingers, country, and bluegrass could not all be put under the banjo. Wonderful write, Dan.

I was afraid if I tried to single out everybody, people would get bored and lose interest. It's almost too long as it is. Thanks for your interest and support.

But that's exactly why I love the sax... it's gives the sexiest blues sounds. When I wrote lyrics for the music he composed I always said, "More sax!"

Thank you,Lin. Personally I prefer the blues but I can take them all except rap or hip-hop. I'm just a little too old to understand.
