All the different types of music that have been digested from childhood blend with all the ones emerging today. They have formed between themselves links that nourish our appetites and musical tastes. Those links make you receptive to a certain type of music more than another.

I have tried to compile some of those links. I still don't know why or how they met, but I know the meetings are frequent and the conversations lively.

Like in every list, some items are missing, but you can find them if you tie the links well. Or if you untie them. By the way, for those links, you don't need the Net !
