whats in your headphones?

Grab your bear can or camp chair, kick your feet up and chew the fat about anything Sierra Nevada related that doesn't quite fit in any of the other forums. Within reason, (and the HST rules and guidelines) this is also an anything goes forum. Tell stories, discuss wilderness issues, music, or whatever else the High Sierra stirs up in your mind.

I am prone to having inane lyrics get stuck in my head, so now I often listen to instrumental music, including some favorite classical pieces. This is my current favorite by Franz Lizst:

It's a nice video of an old Vladimir Horowitz in concert. What a brilliant pianist!

Nice piece there Ian. In the nineties, I didn't like where rock was going, so I moved to smooth jazz and classical. Playing a classical guitar made it an easy transition because I appreciated harmonic intricacies and sophisticated chord progressions. I will, however, never lose my roots in rock of the 60's and 70's.
My favorite rock guitarist going back to his roots.

Hi Jim, I think I know your feeling for the Rock of the 60's - 70's. I too can't get past it. Is this the kind of Classical guitar from the 60's you are into?
After enjoying the Horowitz piece, I naturally found this favorite from Woodstock. I love playing one after the other because of the contrast, but also because both "groups" are so passionate in their own way for the Music. Can you dig it Jimr? :nod:

I can dig it. Love Carlos. See the addition to my prior post. "classical" refers to the 1600 and 1700 European classical music.
