@jim5559  I like Bach.  Have a lot of music on CD by him.  But I must confess, I never think about God while listening to his music.  From the wrong church I guess.  I only think of God when listening to Messiah.   Cheers

Bluegrass in my mind is white people's Blues   That would be Country music.  Real country music that is.  Blues is about women, sex and booze.   Country music used to be about that also.   Cheers
