If you have satellite TV  or maybe on your cable, if you get RFD TV, they show Hee Haw every Sunday night at 8:00 pm and a repeat at Monday morning at 10:00 am.  I am trying to record as many of them as I can.  They're currently in season 6.

I am finding the replies quite interesting.
Remembering that we are all beekeepers first, I would have to say that clearly most of the respondents are into country music. Rock seemingly favoured by only a few of us.

I like Lazy's selections for sure.  Most often, I gravitate toward folk/pop.  Fellas like Brett Dennen for example.

George Strait, Chris Young, Lori Morgan, Brooks & Dunn, Reba McIntire, most any talented country singer.
In my opinion, talent is something most of the newer " artists" seriously lack. It seems to take a backseat to marketability.
If you like acoustical guitar, YouTube  Sungha Jung,he is awesome.

You should also look for Michael Hedges.  Very unorthodox but so innovative and original.  Too bad he died in a car wreck.

Depends on the mood, season and weather
Pink Floyd, Vivaldi (4 seasons), Merle Haggard, Hank Williams Jr.. Lady Antebellum, ZZ Top.
Last week, after a decade or so I was listening "Made in Japan" by Deep Purple, wondered how I survived seventies listening to it on a daily basis. Looks like I'm not a very particular.

Gosh, just looked at what's in the CD bin. Everything from old rock (Janis included, of course) to country and Willie to classical to opera and, of course, a couple of "Three Tenors" recordings.

I grew up on country; Conway Twitty, The Highwaymen, The 'Possum, and the like. During my teenage years into my early 20's I was into that Heavy Metal stuff. Now I will listen to most anything except rap and hip-hop. Depending on my mood or activity I tend to listen to Blues or R & B. When I'm at home I gravitate to Opera or Opera Crossover. My one requirement these days is talent. Either they have to have good "pipes", a unique voice, or display exceptional instrumental talent. Otherwise I'm not interested. Natures melodies are always in order as well.

If you like Blues, and like a voice that's powerful, try listening to Matt Anderson. I stumbled across him on youtube and now find he moved to the same town we moved to 2 years ago. I haven't heard too many with the power he has. Watched a clip of him do a show where the sound system crashed. Didn't bother him, he just went ahead without it. Blew the crowd away.

If it's Blues you like, you gotta watch all of this one below!

I've been thinking about this post and I think my true favorite music is what I hear at home. Peace and quite. The goats fussing at each other, the donkeys reminding me that its dinner time, a bee buzzing by, my two little nieces showing me every frog, cricket and everything else that's so interesting to them. That's the music I enjoy these days.

In a related musical subject, I just read this article in the Kansas City Star about the resurgence in popularity of LPs.  http://www.kansascity.com/2014/01/01/4724872/needles-and-spins-young-music.htmlKids are clamoring for our old rock albums and turntables.  The article quotes a young man talking about the turntable he found in the family garage, "Mom had to show me how to use it."  He probably has had to teach his Mom how to use some new electronic gizmo. (I speak from personal experience on this subject)
Last Christmas my husband had my old Pioneer turntable refurbished for me.  Since then it's been fantastic finding interesting LPs at estate and garage sales.  A lot of the albums I have bought, since then, fall into the categories of "I've heard of that!", "Everybody had this album", "I had this once!" , "This is unique", and "50cents!and it still has the shrink wrap on it!"

i have an onkyo and a bose, they both play like a charm.  there is a big market for turntables, and vintage equipment.   one of my brother's looks for this stuff, refurbishes, cleans them up, gets them working and sells them on ebay. that and old radios.  i have hundreds of LP's.  i purchased a gizmo to convert the l/ps to digital, read the instructions and haven't started yet.....

I got a turntable and cassette player with usb connections for Christmas a few years ago to digitize my LPs and cassettes, but that's still on my to do list.  And I really need to get that done before the tapes fall apart.

I have a couple of folks I enjoy from Canada: Gordon Lightfoot and Terry Kelly (A Pittance of Time), and then theres The Avett Brothers (February Seven), Garth Brooks, Jim Croce, Van Morrison, Andy Williams, and Alan Jackson.

I play the piano and often find myself playing Beatles music. One of my favorites is "Let It Be." Also like some of the newer Christian music and some light classical. My pickup radio is almost always on country music.

My wife and I like to take in the older country acts that are still touring while they are still out there on the road. Most we see are at the casino or an old theater in Wichita Kansas. We have several relatives of Martina McBride living here in town. She came down and play a small show at the casino a theater of maybe 2000 seats Her uncle and I was good friends when he was living I was able to get good seats through her cousin and aunt. Her aunt is our neighbor and cousin who works for us. It was one of the best shows I have been to. She played resquest from the audience and think she had as much fun as we did. We always are able to get down and close to the stage at the smaller venues

Catch them while you can!  They slip away so fast.
