Today I've been relaxing by playing music I listened to in the past (my youth!)
Here's one such song (Supertramp: Logical Song) https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=ukKQw578Lm8
Do reply with a song you liked listening to... we can turn this thread into a virtual jukebox!

Today I have mostly been listening to Clara Rockmore. <3
Is she playing a Theramin? To begin with I thought violin, then viola, but it's definitely something more ethereal! I have never even heard of a Theramin before but it sounds incredibly interesting: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Theremin
Yes. Clara Rockmore plays the theremin like it was a proper classical instrument. Mostly they get used in horror film soundtracks (which I often enjoy too). I think it's a theremin being played on Good Vibrations by the Beach Boys. I've always wanted to have a go at being a thereminist myself. :)
Oh how brilliant! There's a homeless guy near where I live who plays the didgeridoo - also a great sound but not very portable. I'd love to have a go at the Jew's Harp but sadly I don't think my teeth are up to it!
I have some little Buddhist cymbals and a singing bowl I really like the sound of too.
