New Age is the dumping ground for not-rock, not-pop, not-jazz, not-classical, not-soundtrack-or-musical, not-country, not-comedy, not-*... You get the picture! Hold it...

I like BOTH kinds of music... Country AND Western! Seriously though, some artists get around being pigeon-holed by using a different pseudonym (pen name, nom de plume, alias) for each different genre they explore. If more than one genre sells big-time, then they can let the cat out of the bag and rerelease all this stuff under one name, get labeled a prolific genius who knows no boundaries, and REALLY rake it in and release whatever they want!

A landscape architect uses many types of plants. But we musicians are supposed to know and create only one type of music? Shit, you name a popular genre and I've probably performed it at one point or another! Folk, rock, country, blues, gospel, pop, classical, bluegrass, jazz, traditional, avant-garde. I imagine that most of the members of LD can say the same. Hold it... Javier Miranda V. said: > I'm saying it is "indeed a physical phenomena." What is time? What is > reality? We know from A.

It's a perception thing. Of course, it is well documented that your state of mind can affect your physical state. OK, exhale! ...What a rush, man!!
