My favorite song is Ave Maria as performed by Chrinstina England Hale. I like other classical stuff as well.

• Pre-H.A.A.R.P. Muse and The White Stripes are my favorites. I also really like Flogging Molly, Beirut, and Fleet Foxes.

• also a fan of some Skynyrd, Stevie Ray Vaughan. I don't know why, but Los Lonely Boys seems like they fit here too.

• I'm also a huge fan of Jazz: Coletrane, Miles Davis, Louis & Ella (separately or together), Chet Baker, Madeleine Peyroux (cover).

On country/bluegrass, I don't like much recent stuff, but The Infamous Stringdusters and Sturgill Simpson are great. Corey Smith is ok (sometimes his concerts are too drunk though). On older stuff, one of my favorite country/bluegrass albums is a tribute to Robert Earl Keen (great songwriter). Also enjoy Johnny Cash, The Stanley Brothers

With calm music, I like stuff like Milosh, Bonobo, and Iron & Wine.
