but I'm a fan of Arvo Part. The first time I heard any of his compositions was when I was in my early 30s and one of my friends put on Tabula Rasa at the frat house on campus at my alma mater. Wonderful music to break out the catnip and get wasted.

I had pretty eclectic friends (this person was a violinist) and we lived by the slogan "expand your mind."

Thanks for posting.
