What I listen to for relaxing includes The Beatles, Tom Waits, and various music from the Middle East and India. I'm really liking the Middle Eastern and Indian music at the moment.

Theatre organ music. Gaylord Carter, Lew White, Jesse Crawford, Reginald Foort, Ann Leaf, folks like that, playing classic pop tunes on Mighty Wurlitzers. Big fan of "Pipe Dreams" on NPR, but they play too many church organs and not enough of the theatre variety.

I don't know what part of the country you are from but If you''re ever down in Sylmar, Ca, the Nethercutt has a Wurlitzer. I went on the tour many times and to an event where they showed silent films accompanied by Dean Mora on the Wurlitzer. It was amazing but I think I prefer church pipe organs to theater organs.

Either classical (Satie & Chopin in particular) or Peggy Lee,Claude Thornhill, Pink Martini, and Dick Haymes are go to's for me.

Bobby Goldsboro's tunes are also good for a relaxing evening.

Currently Claude Debussy & Gustav Holst have been the top of my relaxation list of music.

Cheers!

I'm currently listening to a swung version of The Boss' "Hungry Heart" - perfect bliss.

Thank you very much for this recommendation, it is one of the most relaxing tracks I've heard in a long time.

Some of the exotica on Radio Bamboo podcasts is right on the money (although it looks like it's been taken over by Quiet Village)
