Show off!

Vinyl

+ 1 "Famous Blue Raincoat" Jennifer Warnes (Timpani drums or whatever they are are great in Bird on a Wire)

"Breaking Silence" Janis Ian - really well recorded, tons of detail, big sound stage etc.)

"Wonderful Sound of Female Vocals" - Analogue Productions (the whole album is a showcase)

Whatever they request because if they don't like the kind of music you play, they won't care what it sounds like. Talking about the common folk, not the experienced audiophile.

The Wall

....a random selection from the massive play list of the weird and wonderful that I love....

If your mouth opens, I know you're still breathing.

If your eyes glaze, I know a few synapse have cooked, so I'll turn it down.

If the odor in the room changes....Towel, washer, dryer, and insanely strong black coffee the consistency of room temp honey.

I'm not a 'shrink' but look like one...("99.9% of doctors swear at this...")

Be not afraid. 😏

Sheryl Crow's "Tuesday Night Music Club", and some individual tracks like Dusty Springfield's "Son Of A Preacher Man" and the Hollies' "Long Cool Woman". A good copy of "Rock On" by David Essex is good, too.
