Hello While I do enjoy listening to music and often find it spiritually refreshing, a central engine to my spirituality is the crafting and creating of music itself. The act and process of creating music somehow opens a line of communion with God. An instrument that has become core to that communion is the Australian Aboriginal didgeridoo. It is fascinating that a simple naturally-created wooden tube, be a catalyst for my faith! Its my hope that, perhaps, my music becomes soul-refreshing to listeners. I'll post some examples to my profile. With respects Karl Edit: I see we can no longer upload mp3 files. Will this change? I hope so... Until such a time, I'll not be able to upload any of my music to Bnet (sigh)

When we're talking about music genres, I'd say country music. It makes me feel relaxed. Every morning when we go to school, we get fetched by our uncle in a pick up truck and hear country music on the radio (since my uncle loves country music). It has been a tradition that we ride to school while listening to country music. Country songs are not too emotive nor too noisy. It's just right. Sometimes we would sing along to the lyrics. The lyrics are really soothing too because they talk about life in the farm or in the country or anything simple like that.
And then when I would have an awful day at school, we get fetched by the pick up truck again and country music would be playing, then I would forget my worries and all the problems I had during the day.

Evenesence, something about her soulful voice makes me feel good deep inside. It has a little rock-n-roll in it. What takes me back to my roots though....is 'The Carpenters' We've only just begun!

I enjoy New Age Music. Not just any. I like the husband & wife group 2002, David Arkenstone, and my most favorite Medwyn Goodall. His music can give me a lift or help relax me when I have had a stressful day.

Music is God's shadow washing over me on a hot day. What calms me the most is modern American-style music with artful lyrics---from Rock to Blues to R & B and straight on down the line.

A couple of other New Age musicians I like are Nicholas Gunn and Loren Gold. Loren Gold toured with Dancing w/ the Stars this summer and also tours with a couple of rock bands when he is not playing his own New Age music. He played keyboard for both. Medwyn Goodall is comng out with a new Cd. very soon. It will be his fourth or fifth in a series all titled Medicine Woman. I have a My Space and he is one of my friends on their. We are given a free music players on My Space and he offers me free down loads of his music that isn't on his My Space and I have gotten to listen to some of his newer music. It is truly beautiful.
