Whats in your CD player?
I have a Ralph Towner cd ("Solo Guitar") that I've been using a lot for massage. It's acoustic, relaxing and beautiful music to listen to. I like to mix it up a bit with other types of music, like Carlos Nakai "Canyon Trilogy" (American Indian flute) and some jazz (Kieth Jarrett trio "Standards" with Gary Peacock and Jack DeJohnette).With one fellow student I trade with semi-regularly, we decided to try something completely different; working with an African drum and vocal cd by an incredibly talented local musician originally from Mali (Moussa Traore "Mali Foli DAKAN"). It's rhythmic, a little trance-like, and actually makes excellent background for a more intense, energetic massage.I tried John Coltrane "A Love Supreme" because a lot of it is trance-ish, but it was just a little too intense.For driving around, I actually tend to listen to talk radio.....no, NOT Rush Limbaugh! NPR, Howard Stern **ducks for cover** and a couple of local stations that mix news and talk. I hate TV news and newspapers, so it's about the only way I can keep up with what's up in the world.
