As a young person, I loved music, all music, even "uncool" classical and Lawrence Welk stuff.
I never had lessons or formal training but much later I learned about some of the theory. Some of the breakthroughs for me revolved around "uncomfortable" piano scales like A and E which opened up the world of popular guitar music, and conversely, with barre chords being able to play some Eb and Bb favorites that were unusual to hear on a guitar. Now I like to chase down obscure little melodies from any time in my life and bring them to life on the piano. Some are in the oddest of keys, but I believe, for good reason. Now that vinyl records are so cheap, I can spend a quarter taking a chance on anything and maybe have a couple of haunting little keyboard riffs at the end of the day.

PBS is great. I am gastrically unable to tolerate banal commercials or canned laughter which eliminates much of what is available for free, at least. I often have pictures with sound muted for ambiance.

Any by James Michener, Mark Twain, Kurt Vonnegut,Tom Robbins,R. Crumb

Comfort on difficult days, smiles when sadness intrudes,
rainbows to follow the clouds, laughter to kiss your lips,
sunsets to warm your heart, hugs when your spirit sags,
beauty for your eyes to see, friendship to brighten your
being, faith so that you can believe, confidences for
when you doubt, courage to know yourself,
patience to accept the truth, love to
complete your life.
