I have to agree that listening to the kind of music *I* enjoy is relaxing -- but if I'm listening to the radio, and RAP comes on, it makes me UPSET!!! So I make sure I listen to my OWN CD's, etc. LOL

It is good "therapy." Thanks for the link. God bless. Hugs, Lee

Yup. My wife likes to listen to Pandora when she's online, but that's too much work for me - clicking whether I like something or not...

I have a list of streaming Bluegrass stations I listen to online. If I don't like the program, I switch to the next station, but that's not often; I've had The Bluegrass Mix on for months without "changing the dial"...

(How old was that study? Therapeutic effects of listening to music is old news!)
