wer ones like Cinderella Man, The Green Mile and The Kings Speech. Like almost all music. Jazz, blues and Motown. Freddie King, The Temptations. Miles Davis and Art Blakey are favorites. Classical from Bach to Brahms. Country from Alabama to Clint Black. Classic rock from Creedence Clearwater to Doobie Brothers and Eagles. Older Chicago. Santana and Earth Wind and Fire are hard to beat. With more time available am catching up on reading. Enjoy history and biographies, recently read 3 volume bios of Theodore Roosevelt and Winston Churchill . I am really looking forward to traveling again in 2021.
