Music Choices

[smilingcat]

Pandora doesn't support the kind of music I want to listen. Even my neighbor managed to stump Shazam. In fact another neighbor thought it was just fluke but one after another it failed miserably. My musical choices also stumped Shazam.

What good is it?

Okay so I used to listen to classical and opera a lot then started to like some country music but it drifted away from me. Folksy kind I liked, people like Mary Chapin Carpenter, Emmy Lou Harris. Also liked rock-a-billy kind of country like Highway 101... but it drifted. These days, I prefer listening to

Sissel Kyrkjebo from Norway (Angel passing through my room, Koppangen, Varen), Kale Moraeus; Lisa Nilsson (Utan Dina Andentag), Sonja Alden, CajsaStina Akerstrom (du) from Sweden; Andrea Berg, DJ Otzi, Helene Fischer, Claudia Jung... from Deutchland. None of these can be found in Pandora. Oh I also like volksmusik and Alpenmusik (Melissa Naschenweng)

My favorite still is Die Zauberflote (see even the spell checker marks as mis-spelled) von Wolfgang Mozart.

Sissel is absolutely the best. Better than Anna Netrebko me think, but Ms. Netrebko is a bonafide opera singer. Sissel is not. also like Haley Westenra from NZ.

oh I do like Pink but prefer Pink Martini.

Two versions of Over the rainbow a must listen are Israel Kamakawiwo http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-WFrMkPxa7I and Eva Cassidy http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4RDmXsGeiF8 both have died and both versions are better than Judy Garland HONESTLY.

BTW, does Asteria (13/14th century Burgundian Chanson) or Anonymous 4 come up in Pandora? both I like.
