I like a variety of music. I like oldies, pop, country, reggae, and a little hip hop and rap. Music helps me relax and chill out.
There are some radio stations I like to listen to. I listen to a classic rock station called The Point, and I met most of the DJs years ago. Unfortunately, most of them quit, and one DJ passed away. I like listening to a reggae show every Sunday afternoon that I started listening to a few months ago.
The other station I like is called Rock and Roll Heaven, and it plays music from the 50s through today. The DJ wanted me to help with the station. Unfortunately, he passed away before I was able to help him with it.

I love the variety of music you enjoy! I like how music can be tied to so many memories and people. It sounds like those radio stations hold a special place in your life. I enjoy different kinds of music too, depending on my mood lol.
It’s fun to read about your range of music you listen to. And I’m always impressed by the people you’ve met!
Elliot, I really enjoyed reading your article about your love of music! I think you and I have something wonderful in common because music has always played a very important role in my life, too!
I have loved music ever since I was a little girl growing up in New Jersey. Over the years, my musical tastes have expanded, and today I enjoy a wide variety of genres, including smooth jazz, classic rock, country, bluegrass, oldies, R&B, soul, and even Native American powwow music!
One thing I especially appreciate about music is how it can bring back so many memories. Sometimes all it takes is hearing a particular song, and suddenly I’m remembering something from my childhood, my teenage years, or a special moment with family and friends.
I noticed that you mentioned enjoying classic rock, country, and reggae. I enjoy classic rock and country music myself! There’s something about those older songs that I find especially enjoyable. Many of them tell stories, express emotions, and remind us of different times in our lives.
One of my all-time favorite singers is Stevie Wonder. I absolutely love his music! His voice, his creativity, and the way he expresses himself through his songs have always meant a great deal to me.
When it comes to jazz, one of my favorites is Bobby McFerrin. I love the way he uses his voice as an instrument and creates such interesting musical sounds.
Smooth jazz is another genre I can listen to for hours. I find it relaxing, soothing, and enjoyable, especially when I want to unwind after a busy day of writing, advocating, or interacting with people on social media.
I also enjoy bluegrass because of the instruments, harmonies, and storytelling. And Native American powwow music has a special place among my musical interests because I enjoy listening to the powerful drumming and traditional singing.
Being totally blind and having a hearing impairment has never taken away my appreciation for music. In fact, music is one of the things that brings me tremendous happiness.
Although I wear hearing aids, I still enjoy listening to different instruments, voices, melodies, and rhythms. Music allows me to experience so many emotions, from happiness and excitement to comfort and reflection.
Sometimes I listen to music when I’m feeling cheerful, and other times I turn to it when I need a little encouragement or relaxation.
I also enjoy listening to music with my stepdad in the mornings. It’s one of those simple family routines that I really treasure. Sharing music and conversation is a wonderful way to begin the day.
I was especially interested in reading about the radio stations you enjoy and the DJs you’ve met over the years. That must have been such a wonderful experience!
I was also sorry to read about the DJs who passed away, particularly the gentleman who wanted you to help with his radio station. It sounds as though that could have been a very exciting opportunity for you.
I think it’s wonderful when people working in radio take the time to connect with their listeners. Radio has always had a special way of bringing people together, even when they’ve never met face-to-face.
Another thing I appreciate about music is that it crosses so many barriers. People from different backgrounds, generations, cultures, and abilities can come together through a shared appreciation for a song or an artist.
And as someone who advocates for people with disabilities, I believe music can also be a wonderful form of inclusion, self-expression, and community participation.
You don’t have to see a performer onstage to appreciate a beautiful voice or a meaningful song. And you certainly don’t have to enjoy the same genres as everyone else to connect with them through music.
I also think it’s important that people with disabilities have opportunities to explore their own musical interests instead of having others decide what they should enjoy.
Elliot, I’m curious about something. Since you enjoy so many different types of music, do you have a particular singer, band, or song that you would consider your all-time favorite? And is there a song that brings back especially happy memories for you?
I would love to hear more about your experiences meeting radio personalities and how you became interested in the different stations you mentioned.
Thank you for sharing another wonderful part of your life with your readers. I enjoyed learning more about your musical interests, and I look forward to reading more of your stories.
Music truly is a universal language. It can comfort us, inspire us, bring people together, and remind us of some of the most meaningful moments of our lives.
No matter what challenges we face, music has a beautiful way of reminding us that there is still joy to be found in everyday life.
Keep enjoying your music, Elliot, and please keep sharing your experiences! 🎶❤️
