When the madness of Korea gets to me, I like to play some rousing American music.

I especially like Aaron Copeland, stuff like Rodeo, Billy the Kid, Appalachian Spring.

It kinda clears the palate, so to speak.

But then, I'm American.

What do people from other countries see as rousing national music?

jazz of the 1920s-30s. Reminds me of our dinner parties.

And a curiously apt soundtrack for the financial times immediately ahead of us...

AH GOT THE BLUES>>>> AWWWW YEAH

I'm gonna cut one of the strings on my guitar and bang it up a bit just to make it more authentic for those sad investment songs just around the corner.
