Hey Mimi, if you like Enya you may like Mazzy Starr, same kind of gentleness but "darker and smokier". I play her CDs and Enya's out in the garden sometimes. I play a lot of different kinds of music; I've always liked diversity and we used to have an original music club so I was exposed to lots of different types of music through it. There are times when I'm driving or working around the house or on the computer when ska, Irish and Scottish type music(I really love bagpipes!), alternative, heavy metal(I have to admit to liking a tiny bit of that, about enough to fill up a couple of cd's), punk(uhm, did I really say that???), new wave(Yum! Dire Straits and Talking Heads ruled, they were the light at the end of the tunnel for me), reggae, dance(Moby, NIN, Filter, etc), Romance / Angst, well, lots and lots of kinds of music, have more appeal. For out in the garden, working by myself, I find that the natural rhythms and sounds in (what I thought was "world music" but I think they're calling Latin based music "World Music" now) drum circle music help me get "centered". Oh yes, forgot to mention Sting's 'Desert Rose' is another nice number. I'd really love to have more of that kind of music.

How about just building a shelf somewhere -- recessed, protruding or whatever you like -- with all the wires you could conceivably want available at that shelf? You'd want a 110v outlet to power whatever device you'd use there. You'd want wires going to the speakers (RCA jack?) and you might want a network cable in case you decide wireless isn't the greatest way to get the music from your PC to the bathroom. Hide those three things behind some sort of aesthetically pleasing facade and you'd probably be okay.

John Milton Quotes English - Poet December 9, 1608 - November 8, 1674 He who reigns within himself and rules passions, desires, and fears is more than a king. John Milton Gratitude bestows reverence, allowing us to encounter everyday epiphanies, those transcendent moments of awe that change forever how we experience life and the world. John Milton The mind is its own place and in itself, can make a Heaven of Hell, a Hell of Heaven. John Milton To be blind is not miserable; not to be able to bear blindness, that is miserable.

John Milton Beauty is nature's brag, and must be shown in courts, at feasts, and high solemnities, where most may wonder at the workmanship. John Milton Though we take from a covetous man all his treasure, he has yet one jewel left; you cannot bereave him of his covetousness. John Milton Virtue could see to do what Virtue would by her own radiant light, though sun and moon where in the flat sea sunk. John Milton Love-quarrels oft in pleasing concord end. John Milton Who overcomes by force, hath overcome but half his foe.

John Milton Redd Foxx Quotes American - Actor December 9, 1922 - October 11, 1991 Beauty may be skin deep, but ugly goes clear to the bone.

Redd Foxx The show doesn't drive home a lesson, but it can open up people's minds enough for them to see how stupid every kind of prejudice can be. Redd Foxx Henry W. Kendall Quotes American - Scientist December 9, 1926 - February 15, 1999 If we do not voluntarily bring population growth under control in the next one or two decades, the nature will do it for us in the most brutal way, whether we like it or not. Henry W. Kendall The destruction of our environment and resources cannot be stemmed unless the growth of the world's population is stemmed and ultimately reduced. Henry W. Kendall We must act swiftly in order to halt the rate of decay our planet faces. Henry W. Kendall Many people and governments share the mistaken belief that science, with new, ingenious devices and techniques, can rescue us from the troubles we face without our having to mend our ways and change our patterns of activity.

Kendall Governments must now take a leading role in moving their nations in the right direction. Henry W. Kendall Benny Green Quotes British - Musician December 9, 1927 - June 22, 1998 We have different personalities, but in a harmonious way, I'd say. Anyway, we were booked to play at the festival as a duo; and we decided we wouldn't have any rehearsal. Benny Green The magic can happen in a studio. Special things can happen in a recording studio, even though it may seem like a clinical environment from the outside looking in. Benny Green I think there's a natural chemistry between us as friends; and there's really no separation between the rapport that we feel when we're in conversation and when we're playing music, it's one in the same. Benny Green The first time we performed as a duo, we had already been playing together in various situations. Benny Green Just to be around that, to feel a part of it and be able to integrate the experience while I was with the Messengers, of going and playing gigs with other drummers, gave me the chance to realize that it was not just me that was making it happen. Benny Green He would catapult you forward, and that was his intention with the Jazz Messengers. He would take young people with a potential and help them develop a voice as a player and as a writer. Benny Green A jazz musician is a juggler who uses harmonies instead of oranges. Benny Green The first jazz pianist I heard was Thelonious Monk. My father was listening to an album of his called 'Monk's Dream' almost every day from the time I was born. Benny Green Art was carrying me a lot of the time. When you're accustomed to playing with Art, and you play with other drummers, it's as if the bottom dropped out. Benny Green No, that's not it. The first time we met was at Fat Tuesday's. Benny was playing, this was, I think in 1989? Benny Green We have fun, we listen to one another, we challenge one another, we trust one another. We're doing what we enjoy, and we're not just playing for each other, we're playing for the people. Benny Green You know, there're no rules between Russell and I. We don't want to have to have to talk too much, because it's really precious, really special to play music. Benny Green I'm glad you asked that question, because of any musical situation I've been in, the communication feels great here with Russell. He really pays close attention to what I'm doing because he cares. Benny Green Like Russell, I enjoy the fact that when I'm playing solo, if I want to do something completely spontaneous, I don't have to worry about how I'm going to cue the other musicians, or if it's something that's rehearsed. Benny Green I'm naturally going to react to that and he'll bring out elements in my musical character that were lying dormant, because I'm relating what he's playing. Benny Green I have similar feelings, actually. The intimacy of a club: you can see the people, you can almost feel them; you can't beat that. People will say things, and shout out, it's almost like they're up on the bandstand with you. Benny Green Actually, I've had very little classical training, although I love listening to classical music very much. Benny Green Prior to that, I had associated this music with older people, like my father. Benny Green I didn't know when I was growing up that this was a very special program, that this wasn't going on in other parts of the country. Now I realize that I was lucky. Benny Green Any time I need to get a serious attitude adjustment, I put on one of their records, and there are examples there for all time to keep us honest and keep us reaching; they'll never be eclipsed. Benny Green Ray had so much love of life and the music. He had so much integrity. He treated the music with so much dignity and respect. I spent four and a half years as a sideman with Ray Brown's trio. Music was his life, more so than anyone I could mention. Benny Green Just to have that sense of family, it gives you something that you know you need to take care of for the rest of your life. People gave it to him, and he passed it on to us. Benny Green I don't really have a lot of hobbies. I listen to a lot of spoken word. I get books on tape. Benny Green Dick Van Patten Quotes American - Actor December 9, 1928 - June 23, 2015 I look back with a mix of emotions: sadness for the people who are gone, nostalgia for times that have passed, but immense gratitude for the wonderful opportunities that came my way. Dick Van Patten I've seen people that don't treat their animals well and yet their animals are still just as loving to them even though they're not treated that well. It's very hard to find that kind of loyalty and love and affection in human beings. Dick Van Patten The only honest reaction and true loyalty that we get is from our animals. Dick Van Patten I've titled this book 'Eighty Is Not Enough' not just for the obvious play on words, but as a way of expressing the single idea that has governed my entire life, that every moment of life is precious, that every step we take is an adventure, that every day on earth is a gift from God. Dick Van Patten The only honest reaction and true loyalty we get is from our animals. Once they're your friends, you can do no wrong. Dick Van Patten I'm always working on our home, but I want to keep the old look to it. Dick Van Patten If I was good each week, my father would take me to a different pet store each Saturday. I had a snake, horny toads, turtles, lizards, rabbits, guinea pigs... I kept my alligator in the bathtub until it got too big. Dick Van Patten To be hungry must be awful. Dick Van Patten People don't like to feed live mice and rats to their snakes. Now we have a regular meat food that they will eat. Ninety percent of the snakes will eat this food and love it. Dick Van Patten We're feeding all these zoos. And that's getting bigger and bigger. Dick Van Patten I love cats. Dick Van Patten We wanted a pet food based on sound scientific principles and truth, not marketing hype. Dick Van Patten I got what they called a diabetic stroke. Here's what it is, my left hand and my left leg. You know when your leg falls asleep? It's like that constantly. It's not painful, but it's so annoying. My leg is all tingly and my arm is all tingly. Dick Van Patten I was in 27 Broadway plays, and three of them got the Pulitzer Prize. Dick Van Patten It was just an accident; I was never going to come out here. Dick Van Patten I like to do TV series. I think they're so comfortable. You're doing the same part every week. Dick Van Patten I remember how my mom would take me on the subway from Queens to Broadway. We'd go to the offices of casting agents. Many doors were slammed in our faces. I was just a boy, but I remember that well. Dick Van Patten From the time I was 8 years old I was on almost every radio show there was. Dick Van Patten I appreciate Eight is Enough. It made me recognizable. Dick Van Patten I come from New York originally, but Californians have been wonderful about animals. These animals are so nice and so good and so sweet and intelligent. It's a crime not to help them. Dick Van Patten I was a child actor in radio, and there's not many of us left. Dick Van Patten I've probably had more jobs than any other actor living. Dick Van Patten We donate a lot of food to rescue organizations. Dick Van Patten We waited until we perfected the dog food, and then we worked on the cat food. Even though it's not going through the roof the way the dog food is, I think it will catch on eventually. Dick Van Patten You have a laugh line; don't accentuate it. You get a bigger laugh. Dick Van Patten You're working with the same people, and there's a lot of recognition. I like to do series best. I really do. Dick Van Patten I wasn't worried about unemployment. Dick Van Patten My mother was aggressive - the typical stage mother. Dick Van Patten Tom Bradford is a lot like the real me. He's a man who always put his career second to his family. As long as everything was OK at home, he was OK, too. Dick Van Patten The family's first, and the career is second. I could get fired from a show. As long as everything's okay with my family, it really would not bother me. Dick Van Patten I never thought radio would fizzle out. Dick Van Patten I used to go from one job to another. I started at seven years old in theater and used to go from one job to another. Dick Van Patten My four friends were John Kerr, who became a star, Paul Newman, Jimmy Dean, and Jack Lemmon. Dick Van Patten We're very lucky people, doing something that we really love to do. I feel privileged to have been an actor all my life. Dick Van Patten I was in 27 Broadway plays in a row as a kid, and in between, I learned how to play the horses from the stagehands. Dick Van Patten I've been to more racetracks than any other person I've met. Almost every track, missing only a few of the newer ones. Dick Van Patten It used to be said all horse players die broke - you can't beat the races. But today, with the Pick 6's and Superfectas, you can. Not that the odds aren't against you, but a good hit, and it's hard to blow that back. Dick Van Patten I've hit the Pick 6 for a hundred thousand a couple of times. A few more for 60, 70 thousand. Dick Van Patten I may eat nine bowls of dog food, because eight isn't enough. Dick Van Patten For nearly eight decades, I've had the great fortune of playing thousands of roles before millions of people. Dick Van Patten I've had a great life. It was exciting. I worked with the most interesting people, and I traveled all over the country. Dick Van Patten

I just this minute found out that my Sonos player can play my Music folder on my computer. I'm thrilled! I thought it only played online/internet sources. I do play online music and radio stations, but now I can play my personal choices.
