Ask me anything about the tibetan nose flute, I won't know the answer.

Also folk revival stuff from the 60's Bert Jansch, Davy Graham, Anne Briggs, Fairport convention, Pentangle. But at the mo I'm listening to a lot of Jazz, Monk, Coltrane, Davis, Weather report, Hancock, Steely Dan. Right now I'm smiling to Joni Mitchell!
