My mom really did not listen to music. My dad always listened to jazz. I love jazz but somewhere along the way developed a love for classical music as well. It was so great when I did because at the time when the average CD price was $15 I could get all the classical CDs I wanted for like $4 each. Love most of the old masters but also love a lot of the newer works by artists such as Ludovico Einaudi, Yo Yo Ma, Karl Jenkins, Joshua Bell and others...
