I have done most all my chores, housework and office, accompanied in the background, by Andrea Boccelli and Il Divo albums. They are so heavenly that the chores speed by! There is nothing so passionate, intense and moving as Italian opera in my opinion. I have loved all music for nearly seventy years, and there is simply nothing music can't move!
Pandora radio does a wonderful job of supplying most any artist and genre you enjoy!
Since my own roots are Italian/Albanian, English, and Scotch, my experience is that there is simply nothing those musical roots will not cure!

My eyes filled. Now that really hooked me. I literally became fearful this experience would end because…….well, was I too old to remember? Those song words stopped , and those from another song started.
Like lightening, I remembered, I thought. I whispered the name…
Then I heard the deepest, richest, laugh … and it all exploded! The wonder of the moment filled me as it connected with so many other memories about this person! So this was the reward of living so long, loving so long. Enjoying each and every moment, almost exponentially,
