I wasn't sure if this was an appropriate time, but I thought that maybe people would like a distraction from everything, so here goes.

I'm looking for new music to listen to. I had a large collection back home, but have since lost most of it, and I thought I'd take the chance to expand my horizons a little.

If you're curious about my tastes, my collection included The Jimi Hendrix Experience, Curt Wild and the Ratz*, Janis Joplin, The Rolling Stones, Black Sabbath, The Flaming Creatures**, Fleetwood Mac, Queen, and Patti Smith.



*Iggy Pop + The Stooges
**New York Dolls+Roxy Music

Wow. Really?

That's the year my mum was born. My dad would have been about five years old.

I've never been to New York, but I'd like to go. It's a dream of mine. There's a lot of good music there and there's something about the American concept of individual freedom that I find very attractive.

Of course you can. I just need to find a record player first.

If you like jazz and blues, I think you'll enjoy rock and roll. It's rougher, a bit dirty and unpolished, but that's why I like it, personally.

You're very welcome.
