London, United Kingdom
I was born in the late forties and started paying attention to music in the early to mid fifties in London. Mostly it was non important background but I discovered that some music moved me. It attracted my attention such as swing and rock & roll and also some classical especially if there were cannons going off !. I started making lists of the ones I liked. I learned that music can be organized by what you want it to do for you. . I also discovered that to most people music is not as important as it is to me. I suppose the sixties and seventies are more represented in my collections of rock as those times were when I really absorbed so much music being in London then San Francisco during those periods. Each playlist or "set" is thematic. There is a beginning middle and end... which I hope listeners stay for. Please see my blog at https://auralfixations.allanstephenson.com where ALL the shows are organized in one place by genre.

Classical pieces for a Sunday (or any other) morning. Not grand symphonic pieces but rather small intimate, eclectic, pieces from many time periods and styles.
