My daughter in San Diego and her husband follow Dave Mathews concerts all over the world...they just saw him perform in Vienna Austria...they were in Italy and he happened to be performing so they left and went to see him there....they probably see the Dave Mathews Band at least a dozen times a year if not more. Her living room has framed Dave Mathews Band album covers on all the walls....it's like they're Dead Heads or something....good band but man......

Dave Matthews band brought an upbeat, optimistic peace to many of us at a time when grunge music was the thing (early to late 90s).

I have to say Dave Matthews Band music inspired many of us attending high school with their first album, Under the Table and Dreaming. And later on with Crash.

Each generation has their music and inspiration.

Dave Matthews band was not my thing at all! I was a much more angsty teen than that heh. I turned to classical around 13ish and though I listened to “what everyone” listened to until about 20ish, just dont care for listening to people sing most of the time.

I have eclectic tastes and enjoy most genres. However, I have to say Classical Music is my go-to for a relaxing environment.

The Chinese have their own music and what they consider their classical. Very different in sound, but the same in emotion.

A lot of musicians and artists like jazz and classical instrumental music to fuel their art.....I started with jazz and classical...I like listening to singers in languages I don't understand so that it becomes another instrument and not a dialogue....Cuban Salsa music is one of my favorites...or Brazilian Bossa Nova ballads...Italian Opera...etc

If I have a deep dark secret musically its that I liked Linkin Park quite a bit as a kid, I didnt like to let that on though. I still once in a while go for it.

Im gonna nerd out for a second. I just love the violin, and piano, I love how great musicians in general can touch places in my mind that nothing else seems to be able to find. It can relax me, inspire me, make me sad, make me happy. I just love the pureness of orchestra’s, classical music, and just music with no singing really makes my mind work.
 
First concert I ever saw was the Iron Butterfly....Inagaddadavida baby...it was in an old tin armory and I was in Jr High School...I think Mountain with Leslie West played that same year and I saw them next

The great poets can make the mind work the same way but it requires shutting off your own dialogue to hear it sometimes. Leonard Cohen or Dylan.

I used to read and write poetry a lot. I still have a love for writing, it just has taken a new form in I write a ton of code, which I think of in many ways like my own creative work.

I can definitely understand that with my mathematical mind. Poetry is fantastic and has a meaning somewhat different for each of us.

WS Merwin's poem, The Last One, is one of my favorites.

Everyone knows it but this is mine.

We Wear the Mask
BY PAUL LAURENCE DUNBAR
We wear the mask that grins and lies,
It hides our cheeks and shades our eyes,—
This debt we pay to human guile;
With torn and bleeding hearts we smile,
And mouth with myriad subtleties.

Why should the world be over-wise,
In counting all our tears and sighs?
Nay, let them only see us, while
We wear the mask.

We smile, but, O great Christ, our cries
To thee from tortured souls arise.
We sing, but oh the clay is vile
Beneath our feet, and long the mile;
But let the world dream otherwise,
We wear the mask!

Dude, you said you listened to that as a teen. The closest a teen boy gets to meditating is masturbating.

Haha. Well, that was certainly a huge part of it. Walking and meditating at that time was quite easy until seeing a beautiful woman. You know the rest. :biglaugh:
 
TorturedBlazerFan said:
Did it make walking difficult?

No, it was more embarrassing than anything. My girlfriend and I were both on the track team and we would work out together all the time. Well, you know how a boy is like with a girl he likes and he's excited. The body does its thing and bam. There it is. At attention you might say. Haha.

When I was 15 my martial arts instructor got me into TM. The benefits are amazing.

To this day I can will myself to sleep in about 60 seconds, anytime, anywhere.

When I was in grade school starting in the fourth grade and possibly the third grade, they used to play classical music over the intercom in my Oswego grade school. I only recall Tchaikovsky's Swan Lake and Nutcracker but I'm sure other stuff got played. That's where my love for classical music began.

First concert I went to when I was in 6th grade, Herman's Hermits at the glass palace. The Who opened for them (their first US tour).

My favorites were Mrs. Brown (you've got a lovely daughter), I'm in for Something Good, I'm Henry the VIII I am and A Kind of Hush.
When I was in the Army and assigned to a school in New Jersey I had a friend from upstate Michigan, Ishpeming, who had a 57 Chevy. We would drive around listening to Hermits Hermits looking for what every young man dreams of, girls. We undoubtedly drove around and listened to other music also but I don't recall it. We both graduated from our school with a new MOS in electronics. I'd give anything to look him up. He's the one that taught me how to properly pronounce sauna (sounah as in ouch).
